We could actually hear what he was saying. There was no competing agenda that we were looking forward to. He delivered a very well written, understandable, passionate and moving speech. That's how you communicate with people.

Chaos just confuses the listener. And that was how the other BLM demonstration came across -- chaotic. It was hard to hear what was being said. There was a lot of awkward handing around of microphones and confusion and a sense that something was going wrong.

But this was an excellent presentation and should have been used to introduce the candidates giving each of them a heads-up and time to listen to the statement and to respond.

This is an effective presentation of the message. Thanks.
