I wept the first time I heard this. The second time, I got chills. Thanks for passing it on.

There was a short piece at the end of Jim Lehrer's News Hour yesterday, by a black American writer who told about the 800 Negro slaves that built the White House and lived in tents camped out on The Mall, where people will gather to welcome Barack Obama.

I was about nineteen when I read Virgil T. Blossom's account of the integration of Little Rock Central High School. My schools, in a Central Texas community, was integrated in 1956. There were no demonstrations, no protests. Four brothers ages eight to sixteen started school with us, played sports, ate with us, walked the halls, and became our friends. We had a wonderful Superintendent who everyone in the high school knew and was loved by the majority of us. His initials were CTS, he was fired a year later when a new school board president was elected. This president was an attorney with a slew of neer-do-well children, who were as worthless as he.
