Your thoughts on this momentous occasionPosted January 19th, 2009 by Ruby Sinreich
When Barack Obama was elected as our country's first African-American president in November, many peace activists raised our voices in celebration. On the FORpeace blog, we discussed our reactions - a lot of joy mixed with some skepticism - about what changes this might bring to Washington, D.C. and to the nation. Today we observe Martin Luther King Day on the cusp of Obama's inauguration, and the juxtaposition of these two events couldn't be more powerful.
