I pay tribute to my dear sister and fellow freedom fighter Shirley Sherrod, who maintained her dignity and intergrity in the face of mendacity and adversity. We have another example of vicious attacks in vitriolic assaults on someone who is a real force for good in the world. We saw this with brother Van Jones, and now we see it again. But this time, truth and goodness triumphed. I also salute, my dear white brother and sister Rodger and Eloise Spooner, the white farmers who spoke up and told the truth about the decency and courage of Shirley Sherrod.
Thank you, Dr. Cornell West
