When I was tucking my son in to bed tonight, he announced that tomorrow at at school he was planning on wearing his black athletic pants and his white soccer shirt. "Okay," I said. "That sounds like a plan." "Do you know why, Mom?" he asked. "I'm wearing it in honor of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Finally, black and white people are working together in the White House." He said it so innocently and so proudly that it warmed my heart. Of course, it also made me begin to hum "Ebony and Ivory".
What a historic day for our Nation. There is energy and excitement in the air. I feel proud and hopeful and so blessed to have seen this day.
