Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is right.
Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.
As I listened to the ABC broadcast of this event from my tiny boom box in my office at work I got a little choked up.
Today will be a new paragraph that will be written in my kid's American history book.
I'm worried though...about the chapter that will follow....follow this amazing moment.
See your ass later.
