Dead grandfather mentioned in speech I attended

I went to hear a speech by an indigenous Australian man who had grown up about 500 km from where the speech was given. He spoke of the difficulties in his life and mentioned someone who was instrumental in his success, a white man who had given him a chance and a job in the 40s back when black men weren't even allowed to vote or go to the pub. Previously I had assumed my grandfather was at least as racist as his generation, so I almost fell out of my chair at the back of the auditorium when the man said, "That man's name was Morris Worrall". My grandfather had passed away the previous month so I became quite emotional and had to leave the venue and did not hear the end of the speech. I thought I was the first in my family to champion indigenous rights, pop had never spoken of this and the speaker had no idea I was in the audience until I introduced myself after the speech. I don't believe in an afterlife (despite the speaker saying my grandfather was in the room after I told him who I was) so feel this was a real coincidence, but it was the most lovely experience and made me appreciate my grandfather as a layered person and realise there was so much more to him than I knew.
