No matter how you feel about the Presidential race, you can't help but be inspired by the following video. Pam of http://www.pamshouseblend.com alerted many of us to this powerful piece. As we listen to all the focus on Reverend Wright let us not forget the thousands and thousands of young people whose lives have been changed by this campaign. In many ways, their words of youthful wisdom go a long way to muting any anger from one man.

Students at Bronx High School of Performance and Stagecraft listen to both Obama's recent speech on race and also to one of his "Yes We Can" speeches. Their discussion of both would put many of us to shame. Toward the end of the video clip they write and deliver their own "Yes We Can" speeches and it will bring you to tears. They teach us all a lesson on racism in America.

So as we focus in on anger and our self righteousness, lets not forget hope and inspiration. Thanks to Pam for posting this wonderful video. Please take a very brief period and do yourself a favor and hear the voices of our children.
