I woke up this morning and thought that I have lived and am living in a period that has now surpassed the first part if the 2
oth century in historical significance. After all those years of pledging
alligience to "liberty and justice for all" I see that maybe it wasn't just "for show".

I was right there with you. I kept thinking, "I am alive for this moment in history." It is hard for me to articulate my exact feeling on Wednesday morning, but I felt different. I was sitting on the bus on my way to work, looking around, and feeling very connected to everyone around me. I felt like things are going to change. . . for the better.
I was listening to NPR this morning (Thursday) and they were talking about an ethnically diverse High School in Washington D.C. They were interviewing students there about their response to the election. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96689403
