The Inaugural Benediction (part II)

I have the most educated readers.

Thank you!

"...know that America is a nation of peace and dignity and we are ready to lead once more..."
- President Barack Obama

The Inaugural Benediction

Rev. Lowery was completely inspiring in his delivery of the Inaugural Benediction

“I’m equally certain that we will continue to pray for justice to roll down as waters, and for that day when there will be peace in the valley, and for that day when every man and every woman will sit under his or her own vine and fig tree and none will be afraid, and for that day when black will not be asked to get back, brown can stick around, yellow will be mellow, the red man can get ahead, man, and white will embrace what is right! Amen!”

Amen indeed!

Inauguration Day!

Today is also the start of my spring semester, but this morning I got an awesome e-mail...

"Welcome back for the start of the spring 2009 semester. On January 20, 2009,

Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States of America. This occasion takes on great historical significance as President-elect Obama will be the first African American to be inaugurated as President. To allow members of the College community to participate in this historic occasion, the College will suspend the class schedule from 11:15 a.m. through 1:15 p.m. on January 20, 2009. The schedule will resume with the classes starting at 1:25 p.m."

Thank You Barack Obama!

Also, I want one of these to remember this historical day.
