Harriet Christian phone home . . .

We all laughed when she went off the deep end in 2008 but she was real. Apparently she worked as a waitress in NYC and died two years ago:



On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, we lost Harriet Christian, a lifelong and outspoken champion of equal rights. I came to know her after her honest outburst at the Democratic National Convention’s Rules and Bylaws Committee was captured on video and picked up by major media outlets. Hundreds of us had traveled to DC to picket and protest the committee’s slanted meeting that would decide the fate of millions of citizens’ votes in Michigan and Florida.

Yes, she was a hopeless PUMA, but she believed in her candidate, and that counts for something in this crazy system. So here's to you Harriet Christian.
