This is a day for all Americans to reflect or at least it should be. A day when you reflect on what it is to be an American. A day to reflect within as to what we’re seeing every day in our country magnified on a Twitter account. How each of us can do things which make us better as a people and as a nation.
To close your eyes regardless of party affiliation and simply live the Golden Rule with your actions.
To give of yourself to make your small corner of the world a little better.
I finished Michelle Obama’s book. It was excellent. I understand why it’s still the No. 1 bestseller on the NY Times non-fiction list. I understand why two years after leaving office both Barack and Michelle Obama are the two most admired people in America.
Watch this video and then close your eyes and think about what you’ve witnessed these past two years. Or think about how proud Martin Luther King would be that we got the opportunity to know who Barack and Michelle Obama are…but that we might not have really come all that far given that the Birther movement was the catalyst for Donald Trump’s presidency.
I would think Martin Luther King would be somewhat conflicted today.
