This is so moving. Took me a second to realize what they were representing.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a guerrilla performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Music: We Could Fly and Following the North Star by Rhiannon Giddens.

Wow.

5. Same message. Maybe because I am not registered? ('been meaning to, but...)

That has never been a problem just viewing the original message/video before, but perhaps?
