In retrospect, one can look at events of the past and realize-after the fact-that one has been a witness to history. It is therefore somewhat novel to be acutely aware that a future event WILL be historical.
Such was the case today, as the first African-American President of the United States was sworn in as our 44th Chief Executive. As we watched…we KNEW that what we were witnessing was a true turning point in the history of our nation
Enough has been written, enough has been said—and yet it may be some time before we fully grasp the implications of a country where black versus white produced first a Civil War and then violent protests and riots— and then this same country goes and stuns the world by electing a black man to lead it.
Not much got done around 94.9 WHOM today-as we huddled around TVs to witness for ourselves the smooth transition of power from George Bush to Barack Obama.
Remarkable.
There is a fresh beginning--- a new start—and the words of a new President who is appealing to us to join him in the crusade to remake America.
