From the Dred Scott Case to Barack Obama

This is what I see when I look at the pictures. . .

In the background, the Old Capital Building, where the Dred Scott case was heard . . .

In the foreground, the first, serious, black contender for President of the United States. . .

And in between, 100,000 people who represent how far we have come and the change that has already taken place in the years in between.

And it brings me to tears.
