Bob, The Times They Have Changed

It seemed so fitting to ride the train to Washington to witness the swearing in of Barack Obama. As we passed through small towns in North Carolina and Virginia, I could not help but remember when the train stations like everything else were segregated. "Colored only" waiting rooms, water fountains, and most likely no rest room were the norm. Now people of all backgrounds from all over the country (and the world) are flocking to DC just to be a part of this moment. A huge number cannot remember and cannot imagine segregated America. What a day!
