This veteran civil rights activist and minister sure knows how to deliver, particularly at the end.

It made me chuckle in the face of seriousness. Spiced with equal parts of humor, compassion, and sincerity. Hopefully we can all move forward my brothers, and sisters of the human race. Today, January 20th, 2009 brought us closer together than we have ever been. May we continue to be inspired, and focused.
Thank you Mr. Obama and Rev. Lowery.

I loved it so much, I made it into a t-shirt: (NON PROFIT INTENTIONS)
