My Commencement Address

This speech managed to make me cry when it was delivered. It's short, powerful, thoughtful and, listening to it now, awfully prescient. It's about Truth and humanity -- two things under considerable attack lately, if you follow politics.

The speaker is William Schulz, the Executive Director of Amnesty International. He graduated from Oberlin College (like me!) and has a Masters from the University of Chicago (like me!) and is responsible for the bettering of humanity on a magnificent scale (not like me!). He's also an amazing orator. Give it a listen.
