None Other Lamb - inspirational links.


And also, for the "feel" - 



Greatest of all!! Aretha and Mahalia






Mahalia Jackson sang this song right before Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech.








June 12, 1963 - Medgar Evers
November 22, 1963 - John F Kennedy
February 21, 1965 - Malcolm X
April 4, 1968 - Martin Luther King
June 5, 1968 - Robert F Kennedy 

I vividly remember each of these events. 

Each of us must do what we can, individually and collectively, to make certain that the noble aspiration and highest vision of these martyred leaders continues to manifest peacefully and joyously in our society. Constant vigilance - the price of freedom. 

Every time we meet to unite our voices and our effort in producing beautiful music, we help to realize these noble dreams and aspirations.
We do even BETTER than the original aspirations, for these men, far-seeing as they may have been, still did not envision a place for EVERYONE at the table of justice and equality.
We, however, do envision this place, and more and more of us are taking it. ABOUT TIME!

I blame it all on Star Trek - which didn't exist at the time. We are now fully enlightened and we are doing our part!!

Keep on keeping on!

Yours in musical solidarity,
Rev. Dr. Comrade Lee
