da_lj posted a link to the commencement speech JK Rowling gave at Harvard this year.

Very moving, i recommend you read it.

Reading it brought back a number of stories told my by classmates and coworkers through the years about why they and/or their families fled their native land, about more which another time.

Peace unto you each.

Very Timely

Thank you for sharing this. I might not have found it, being quite taken up with resume writing, job search, etc. This hit home to me -- and I suppose she speaks as she writes, since I feel as if she was speaking to me, personally, and I wasn't even there! Thanks and be blessed.

Yes, it is really a very well-written piece, and i'm sure the presentation was just as lovely as the words. Glad you liked it.
