History tells a people where they’ve been and what they’ve been, where they are and what they are.

Most importantly, history tells a people where they still must go, what they still must be.

Obama Statement

The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it doesn’t bend on its own. To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency.
