My wife and I remember as children and teens the horrible state of intolerence and hatred that permeated parts of the USA. The movie "Mississippi Burning" accurately presents a thumb-nail picture of what was going on.
If someone had told me back in the 60s that I would live long enough to witness what occurred yesterday, I would have told them that it but a pipe-dream.
But then, in reflection, I never thought the Soviet Union would collapse, the Berlin Wall would be torn down, and that Russia would rise as a democracy.
We are advancing - I'm convinced of that - advancing towards a much better world, with the grace of God.
There's much to be done, but we're heading in the right direction.
