ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to our coverage of the evening portion of the 2016 Reason Rally. Magician and comedian Penn Jillette sang some songs and told the heart wrenching and courageous story of singing contestant Carolina Pena. Civil Rights activist Maryam Namazie gave a stirring speech about the struggles atheists face in the rest of the world. I also spoke with Road to Reason host Scott Maddox about why he came to the rally. Anthony Pinn, a professor and author, later reminded the crowd that the rally is a celebration. Actor Annabelle Gurwitch introduced Lt Coln. Tom Gray who related the struggles of being an atheist in the military.
Mexican diplomat Andres Roemer passionately spoke of the global interconnect society and international language of science. The crowd grew and the excitement built as the day went on.
From creative signs and t-shirts to lively discussions Rally goers expressed themselves in a wide variety of ways. The flying spaghetti monster was on hand to take pictures. And even I couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement and sense of community. That is it for this episode. In the next installment we take a look at the conclusion of the main rally with David Silverman, Bill Maher, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and exclusive chats with Aron Ra and Shelley Segal. Thanks for watching.
