Not very long ago, I blogged about seeing Maya Angelou's eulogy to Coretta Scott King on TV. Well, I finally found the video (where else but on The Hour's website?)! You can watch it too! I just did (for about the 3rd or 4th time), and I still got goosebumps!
There's something about this eulogy that revitalizes words like "freedom" and "peace" and "justice" for me. It's as though they've been worn and overused for tawdry things, or sullied by our hip cynicism, and by simply uttering them with a kind of spiritual authority and idealism, Angelou has made them fresh and pure again.
