Taslima Nasrin spoke at the Reason Rally and again yesterday at the American Atheists national convention. She spoke of her exile from her home for the crime of nonbelief and having the audacity to speak out on behalf of those who are oppressed by religion. In a moving conclusion, she told us though she is a woman without her home, she now counted us as her family. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.

As imperfect as this photo is, I wanted her portrait to be my photo of the day.
