We play an address by professor and preacher Michael Eric Dyson speaking at the first annual Unvarnished Truth Awards in Washington D.C. Dyson says, "If you're in the plane, being in first class ain't going to stop you from going down with the rest of us. When there is turbulence, there is turbulence everywhere. Everybody be shaking. If that plane goes down, you might die first in first class. Yes, some of us are in first class, but the plane is in trouble."

One of the expected speakers at the Millions More Movement event tomorrow in Washington DC is Michael Eric Dyson. He is a professor, author, cultural critic and a Baptist minister. His latest book is titled, "Is Bill Cosby Right?"

Professor Dyson spoke a few weeks ago at the first annual Unvarnished Truth Awards in Washington D.C. The awards were organized by Pacifica and were held the same weekend as thousands came to D.C for the massive anti-war march.

* Michael Eric Dyson, professor and preacher. His latest book is titled "Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost its Mind?"
