I had a real treat tonight. At 10:30 pm, I sat in a cinder block room with peeling paint and broken windows to watch my country show that it is the greatest nation in the world.
This is not about politics. This is about a transfer of power without bloodshed or riots in the streets. This is about an election where votes are cast without fear and the legitimacy is not seriously questioned. This is about a nation that has taken a great step in remedying a dark stain in our past. This is about a country where you truly have opportunities that are not automatically pre- determined by your situation at birth.
I would imagine that a fair number in America are weary of the inauguration coverage. Maybe I am overly-sensitive because I sat in a room where people didn't have the privilege of calling themselves as U.S. citizen, but tonight was a night that I was proud of my country. God Bless the USA.
