Security: Public

An article in the New York Review of Books analyzing how Obama's speech paralleled Abraham Lincoln's Cooper Union speech, both after a uproar connected with racial issues. Very interesting article.

Random quote
"... when we first draw breath outside the womb, we inhale tiny particles of all that came before, both literally and figuratively. We are never merely individuals; we are never alone; we are always in the company, as uncomfortable as it sometimes can be, of others, the past, of history. We become part of that history just as surely as it becomes part of us. There is no escaping it, merely different levels of coping. It is how we bear the past that matters, and in many ways is it all that differentiates us."

-- Tim Wise
