If I interfered... in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligence or the so called great...."
It would have been alright. YEP.

I saw him do this w/ Howard Zinn in Boston a week ago. it was amazing. Brolin was just AMAZING. very talented

These Thanos speeches are getting better.

Brolin did a great job but i think David Straithairn's version because it gets across Brown's commitedness

[@bellamaz1972]

DS’s version could’ve been straight off a stage or film, it was so good.

[@MC-pt8kv]

@@bellamaz1972 I think there is an Orson Wells version floating around that is pretty good too.

Why are they laughing?

[@number1connieconversefan]

I think they’re laughing (at least at the 2:45 portion of the vid) because certain sections of the Bible condone the act of slavery, Brown seems to have been poking fun at that hypocrisy

[@LadyArgento]

Josh does a great job.
