C and I watched Barack Obama being sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. I think he's a thoughtful, intelligent and caring man. I hope he can hold fast to his beliefs this term. Later in the day, as we were driving, C and I talked about how it was also Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. C's class learned some march songs of the Civil Rights Movement in his music class last week with Miss Jackie. He was singing, "We Shall Overcome" and some song I didn't know, that has "Yonder mountain" in the lyrics. I was impressed. Then he told me that if he was a white person who was alive when MLK was, that he would also march with them. #proudmama
