[nfbmi-talk] who we are and loving each other

[Daniel Garcia]

That book was recently added to BARD. I am listening to it. I just got done
with chapter one. By my reading of the table of contents, it promises to be
a great book.

Hello list friends,  A few years ago, I got to go with many of you to
Baltimore for a weekend of leadership training.  It was a great time, and I
learned so much about so many of you.  You are truly great friends.  

I didn't know Dr. Maurer well then, and I still don't, but I remember
various ones among our group saying that he was different that weekend, more
philosophical in some way, I think.  I remember him saying he was tired of
hearing about how great the sunset is, and being told how much he was
missing!!!

But, the biggest thing I took away from that meeting was that he said, "Be
good to each other.  Love each other."  He was pointing out how we can get
distracted from our cause by our human nature that causes us to find fault
and get stuck on that.  

More recently I listened to the book "Walking alone and Marching together"
from the NFB website.  It includes all of Dr. Jernigan's banquet speeches
and recordings of demonstrations, and even a mention of our own Joe Sontag
being thrown off an airplane, not literally of course, for wanting to be
treated the same as all riders on the plane.  You gotta read this book.  My
favorite speech is " The Day after civil rights".  It really puts our
movement in perspective.  What is your favorite of the Federation speeches
or writings?  

Finally, I want to try to remember to be good to all of you , and to love
you.  Thanks for all you mean to me and my family.  Lydia
