It
could be a miracle! |

In a few short days, an African American man will
move from his private residence into a much larger and infinitely
more expensive one owned not by him but by the taxpayers. A vast
lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists
will insulate him from the rest of us but the mere fact that this man
will be residing in this house should make us all stop and
count our blessings because it proves that we live in a nation
where anything is possible. |
|
Many believed this day would
never come. Most of us hoped and prayed that it would, but few of us
actually believed we would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing
in all of its forms and there is little doubt that if this man
had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have
been a great outcry --- possibly even rioting in the streets. |
|
Today, we can all be both grateful and proud that
no such mayhem will take place when this man takes up
residency in this house. |
|
This man, moving into this house
at this time in our nation's history is much more than a
simple change of addresses for him. It is proof of a change in our
attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a
great wrong. It is a symbol of our growth, and of our willingness to
"judge a man, not by the color of his skin but by the content of
his character". |
|
There can be little doubt now that
the vast majority of us truly believe that this man has
earned both his place in history and his new address. His
time in this house will not be easy. It will be fraught with
danger and he will face many challenges. I am sure there will be
many times when he asks himself how in the world he ended up here
and like all who have gone before him, the experience will age him
greatly. |
|
But I for one will not waste an ounce of
worry for his sake because in every way a man can, he asked for
this. His whole life for the past fifteen years appears to have been
inexorably leading this man toward this house. It is
highly probable that that in the past, despite all of his actions,
racism would have kept this man out of this house. |
|
Today, I thank the Lord above that I am
an American and that I live in a nation where wrongs are righted,
where justice matters and where truly anything is possible. |
|
Who is this man, you ask. You think
you know, don't you? |
