... Like A Ripple On A Pond, with the NY Community Choir, in her memory. I was going to listen in the background, but had to give it my full attention.

Everything she did was stunning, and there is so much. I recently revisited her extensive multi-part interview/conversation with James Baldwin ... worth looking for on youtube, and still relevant today.

I am exactly her age, so her voice is one of the voices of our coming of age.
