Memorial Open Thread: Sit Together at the Table of Power

Doris "Granny D" Haddock:

There can be no true equality in America so long as only the rich are represented at the table of power. That is no democracy. There can be no true justice in America so long as only the privileged make the rules and build the jails for those outside the rooms of power. That is no democracy.
Only when we sit together at the table of power can we do the right things by our communities.

Going through her speeches, it is easy as pie to see why Granny D was a giant inspiration to so many people (me included).

This is a Memorial Open Thread.

GRANNY we will miss your voice (4.00 / 3)

. I believe her face should should be beside the description of CHUTZPAH----wow did she ever have it!

The Joys of Yiddish defines chutzpah as "gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible 'guts,' presumption plus arrogance such as no other word and no other language can do justice to." YEP---THAT'S GRANNY D

Granny D is an inspiration for all of us Democrats----The next time something needs to be done and you think ..I don't have the time-I am too old-I am to short-no one will listen--------THINK OF GRANNY D!

Think of this---At age 90 Doris Haddock walked 3200 miles to show her outrage at what money has done to our politics------and thinking of that makes whatever we see as a problem rather small.

In my wife's copy of YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO RAISE A LITTLE HELL Granny wrote " One step in front of the next will get you anywhere!

Doris's voice is stilled----BUT NEVER HER SPIRIT!
