JFK speech during Civil Rights Era put  the impatience of people during COVID19 Pandemic into context thinking about what African Americans were/are subjected to in this country.  Anyone capable of empathy can see we still have a long way to go.  
🇺🇸 It’s about us!! The American people ~ when we are divided then we are losing.

Ep 22

Today I listened to Joe Lockhart’s interview with Vice President Mondale about his experiences running for President. I was very moved by listening to this great man share his thoughts and feelings about the roller coaster ride his campaigning, against Democrats and then Regan, took him on. I remember being a sophomore in high school when Walter Mondale came to Niles West to give a speech. He was my choice for President before he came to Skokie, IL to speak in person. But after feeling him speak from his heart about the good things he wanted to do for the American people, I knew I had chosen wisely, unfortunately I was not old enough to vote. I was really disappointed about not being able to vote when Walter Mondale announced that his Vice President running mate was a woman, Geraldine Ferraro.  
Thank you Joe for your wonderful interview with Vice President Mondale. And for the great job both you and Katie do every week on your podcast.
