Si Obama peut le faire, je le peux aussi
Ann Njeri
Monsieur le Président,
Um Novo Dia para a América – Sob a Visão de Richmond, Virginia
A épica campanha presidencial de Obama teve seu clímax com um encontro de 85.000 pessoas na Virgínia. Foi marcante e adequado que esta jornada à Casa Branca fosse concluída no estado o qual liderava o caminho no reconhecimento da escravidão, fez uma guerra civil para preservar isso, e promoveu uma Resistência Massiva para integração da educação depois de 100 anos da segregação de Jim Crow.
A new day for America - as seen from Richmond, Virginia
Obama’s epic presidential campaign climaxed with a rally of 85,000 in Virginia. It was remarkable and fitting that his journey to the White House concluded in the state which led the way in institutionalizing slavery, fought a civil war to preserve it, and promoted Massive Resistance to school integration after one hundred years of Jim Crow segregation.
O Diálogo que Já Está Acontecendo
Era inevitável que mais cedo ou mais tarde a questão da raça iria inserir a si própria na campanha presidencial. Meu amigo Mike McQuillan, veterano organizador comunitário, ex-Conselheiro do Senado e membro fundador da rede ‘Hope in the Cities’ (Esperança nas Cidades), compara isso a uma velha cafeteira que permanece filtrando. A cada poucos anos algo acontece que traz o desconfortável assunto borbulhando para a superfície, diz McQuillan, que mora no Brooklin.
Do Not Overlook the Wonder
Frank Buchman believed that peace depended on new motives in people, that hatreds needed to be answered as he had found them answered in his own life.
The Conversation that is Already Happening
It was inevitable that sooner or later race would insert itself into the presidential campaign. My friend Mike McQuillan, a veteran community organizer, former Senate adviser and founding member of the Hope in the Cities network, likens it to an old coffee pot that keeps percolating. Every few years something happens that brings the vexed issue bubbling to the surface, says McQuillan who lives in Brooklyn.
