Our Shared Destiny

Over the past few days, I've been reading the January issue of Essence Magazine. For those who don't know, Essence is targeted towards Black readers. The issue had a large section of photographs and articles on Obama's victory and a variety of responses from prominent Black Americans as well as from some young black students.

Reading the issue has left me with the feeling that the Black and White communities in our country now are really entwined into a shred destiny. That, up to now, we've been on parallel but different tracks. As so many in the nation look forward with hope, we are all so truly dependent upon Obama as the President of all of America - our futures are truly linked.
