In the HBO version of David McCullough’s John Adams it is Abigail Adams who asks what kind of country we are building when the White House and Capitol are being built by slaves. Now on this day a Black man has become president of the United States. Slavery is part of our history and nothing we can say or do will change that fact.
We elected Barack Obama because he is well educated and seems to understand the needs of our nation. We have all witnessed an extraordinary event. We can all be proud that our new president was selected not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.
May God bless our new President.
