(2,273 posts)Absolutely beautiful, I spent a couple months in North Carolina and Ashville reminded me so much of Portland while the rest of the state reminded me of why I live in Portland.

(10,597 posts)I watched all of the livestream recording too. What a wonderful speaker and leader for the Moral Monday & associated groups in North Carolina! He was on fire!
And so on point. How I wish I could convince everyone on DU to listen to this.
There are also many other great videos on YouTube from Moral Mondays around the state.
... to help, I'm willing to keep kicking this with you if you're game. Did anyone load it up as a video by itself, which can be seen on the right side of the home page?
That made my day. Thanks, G_j!

I caught a few of the speakers listening on my Iheartradio app yesterday afternoon. You're lucky to have 880 in your locality.
Great pics, awesome event!
