Obama recites the oath of office and begins his 2nd term as the first African-American President of the United States and leader of the free world. It is also fitting that the Obama family will once again sleep tonight in the White House, a residence that black slaves built."

Hear! Hear!..DJ.

And not to dismiss in any way how Pres. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation ties into all of this ….but TODAY….

I am also most grateful to Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson for the Courage it took for him to fight for the passage of (and sign into law) the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
