reverend joseph lowery

This week for multicultural week we had to attend an activity to make up for no class on Monday. For my activity I chose to go listen to Reverend Joseph Lowery speak. I wasn't too sure in the beginning on whether I was going to enjoy it or not. And I wasn't even really sure who this man was. But as he started to speak, he quickly caught my attention and I really enjoyed listening to him. He had such passion in his voice and at times I felt myself get chills from the things he said and preached about. Another thing that made me like him so much was his sense of humor, he was a very funny man and made me continue to listen to him, waiting for his message or for him to crack his next joke.
My favorite part about the whole thing was when I had a conversation with one of the girls in the gospel choir that sang. I asked her some questions about the choir and she asked me if I sang, I told her yes, that I had sang all through high school. She invited me to come sing with them. I was extremely excited. I love to sing but I don't want to have to audition for a choir, this one I wouldn't have to. In the choir, there is only one white guy. So to be asked to be in an almost all black choir, I was excited.:)
