When History Makes Sense

A week ago almost to the hour we experienced one of those rare moments when suddenly grand meaning descends on the turns of history.The election of Barak Obama marks the culmination of the Civil Rights struggle that was initiated with the emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. We reached the other end of the rainbow and found the pot of gold, the promise land. I stress we, that is, not only African American people, for this is an achievement for America as a whole, and Humanity at large.
