Bono's Acceptance Speech NAACP End Extreme Poverty
Absolutely riveting and sensitive speech - NAACP Chairman's Award to Bono. Quincy Jones kisses and hugs Bono before he goes on stage. Bono's acceptance speech - "preach!" - brought the crowd to it's feet with a roar!
"This is true religion. True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. 'Love thy neighbor' is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ... This is not a burden, it's an adventure. Don't let anyone tell you it can not be done; we can be the generation that ends extreme poverty."
- Bono, March 2007
