Comments on: A More Perfect Union http://www.stevemarlowe.net/archives/243 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:58:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Brad Reed http://www.stevemarlowe.net/archives/243#comment-4344 Brad Reed Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:42:21 +0000 http://www.stevemarlowe.net/archives/243#comment-4344 I first saw bits of Obama's speech on all places, The Daily Show with John Stewart. His reaction was telling "A prominent American political figure, talking to Americans about race, AS IF WE WERE ADULTS!" It is a sad commentary that a basic cable comedy show "gets it" when the mainstream media do not, but what has been truly uplifting is both the quantity and quality of the writing - mostly by bloggers such as you, Steve - following the speech. I foresee that in the future (sooner, rather than later, if Obama gains the White House) a collection of these writings about race in America collected, studied, transforming our perception of race and social justice. Does anyone know of a website that is collecting these? It might be a good project for someone with more time than I have available to work on.
