Eight Years Is A Long Time To Wait

A Black woman in the crowd awaiting the inauguration ceremony had photographs of all her dead relatives taped to her body. She could barely speak through her emotions, but finally said she had wanted her whole family, dead and alive, to be in Washington, DC, to share the history and the momentousness of the day. There are a whole lot of eyes wide open today, and not all of them can be seen, but they all see what happens here.

"Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America."
