I teach in two large High Schools. In one the school library is packed all day long with students lined up in the computers. The other also with a large population is dead.

Brooklyn Tabernacle Chior is less that a mile from the United Nations. In a neighborhood of 158 languages a choir that does not use sheet music and has won 6 Grammies can somehow get every race and level of class in the world to sing together and like this. Something to think about
