I am celebrating the inauguration of the first biracial African-American president. After a few months of media stories about his biracial background, I fear that tomorrow's headlines which will read--First African-American President Sworn In--the fact of his biracial/bicultural background will be lost entirely. Let's keep talking about it. Let's make America hear this complicated story.
In the meantime, hooray for an intelligent, confident, and mindful President who brings us new hope--who makes us fall in love again with being part of America! We continue to jubilate. My beautiful 93-year-old grandmother does too!
