We Americans need to face the future with hope and the confidence that we can change for the better ... and move together for a More Perfect Union.
This is the time to look closely inside and shine the light on what has been hiding in the darkness. This is the time to uncover our fears and our deeply held preconceptions. Now is the time for growth and change.
I am still hopeful that we are ready to make a great leap forward.
May it be so.
