Today I got to hear Abigail Disney give the keynote speech at the Planet Philanthropy Conference. She said a few things in her speech on the nature of privilege that really struck me, but none more so than this: “I am to America what America is to the world.”
She deconstructed the concept of privilege all the way down to who goes to bed with their shoes on versus those who don’t, and her speech was so profound and moving that it got a spontaneous standing ovation from the crowd, and honestly, when was the last time you saw that happen (State of the Union speeches not included)?
