Equality Ride Video: Minneapolis Reception & “Sending Service”
by Matt | March 6th, 2007 |Throughout March and April, my job on the Eastern Route of the Equality Ride will bring you online videos and “podcasts.” We’re really excited to be able to do this, knowing that you all will be able to keep up with what we are doing, having the ability to see it through the wonder of the web.
Here is our first video…
In this video are numerous folks, including Jake Reitan (Founder of the Equality Ride), Haven Herrin (Co-Director of the Western Route), Minnesota State Senator Scott Dibble (DFL, District 60), Mrs. Kim Ellison (on behalf of Congressman Keith Ellison, D-MN), the Reverend Phil Lawson (Human & Civil Rights Leader) and Western Bus Rider Cylest Brooks singing “Love can build a bridge” by The Judds.
More will come as we move down the road (the buses leave Wednesday). You’ll be able to see video of events, video journals from the Riders, as well as audio journals in our podcasts.
