I saw this story on CNN the other day, and am so glad that they now posted the video. Jonathan McCoy, who just turned 11, is making an incredible difference by speaking out against the "N" word! I was so inspired by listening to him, and could only think "Out of the mouth of babes!" If little Jonathan can even make a difference, this just proves that anyone can! I think that Michael would be proud www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/09/30/lemon.boy.battles.n.word.cnn

omg! Isn't he just the most precious little guy you ever did see? For a kid that age to be SO well spoken and SO clear in his intent...I just love to see that!
Mary-Ann, I'm so glad you were able to find this and post it. He's just a delight to listen to!

I know! I couldn't believe it when I saw him on TV either. He is so incredibly intelligent for his age, and yes a real cutey!
Now you see why I was inspired! He just warms your heart.
