As this is a continuation to the previous post 'If anything matters, Everything matters'. My Friend Aron found this video of Ruby Dee, Dee is a well-known civil rights activists. Among others, She also is a member of Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the NAACP, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Dee was personal friends of both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.
As I was listening to her to speak about "I am somebody because you, you make me somebody, because you, you are apart of me." She conveys my whole post into a poem of passion, beauty, and grace. She allows the audience to be apart of the poem, and most of all Ruby Dee shares the 'The Somebodiness of Me', and for that I thank her!
