While it is disheartening that so much still needs to be done (or redone), it is also inspiring that we have women like Sojouner Truth as examples to follow. <br />And Alice did a great job reading it too!toni p1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14888002688919296589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-51104894644646332332013-07-21T22:55:32.181-05:002013-07-21T22:55:32.181-05:00True. :-(True. :-(June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-77273333655943885162013-07-21T21:55:32.307-05:002013-07-21T21:55:32.307-05:00Sigh!

It was smoking hot! NC is sore beset with some major social justice issues at the moment. Which, of course, always hurt the already marginalized in our society. I think Sojourner would have been proud of him. I know many of us were proud of him and that homily garnered our applause and respect.<br /><br />Also, just a tad OT. I loved the Pavarotti & Bono Ava Maria on Margaret's blog. Also, smoking hot!
