The Song of Diane Benson
I heard this historic woman sing yesterday.
She smiled. She didn't cry. Others listening and watching did both, understanding the power and beauty of the song.
U.S. House Democratic Party candidate Diane Benson has always been a combination of modesty, pride and assertiveness. These elements have often played out in an environment where she either was fighting for sheer survival on an Alaskan scale, or raging against injustices commonly undergone by Alaska Natives. Even now.
