I just got a tear in my eye when I read that. I was in the audience when she started everyone singing, "We Shall Overcome". It's a moment which I will never, ever forget!

I am SO glad that President Bush mentioned her right at the top of the State of the Union Adress - she deserves every bit of respect we can give her!
