Poet & journalist Musa Okwonga performs the Migrant Manifesto. Migrants' Rights Network is launching a new campaign called 'Our Day: Standing together for International Migrants Day'. We are asking as many organisations & individuals as possible to get on board & show a united front in support of migrants. Share this video & go on our website http://www.our-day.org/ to add your voices of support. The Migrant Manifesto was created in collaboration with immigration academics, activists, politicians & community members at a convening at the Immigrant Movement International headquarters in Corona, Queens in November 2011. Thanks to Tania Bruguera & her team for sharing.
In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.
We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested. However, we encourage everyone to seek out the full speech (because, in this case, the book is definitely better than the movie).
