How fitting it is that the presidential inauguration of America’s first black president comes a day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This is truly a historic day in our country. Regardless of what one may think of Obama’s views and politics (both good and bad), I never thought I would witness a dark skin president in my lifetime.
Some consider Obama the next savior or messiah of the world, and others consider him the next anti-christ (two extremes I personally avoid), but whatever the case, history is being made. Racism, bigotry, and prejudice have plagued our country for centuries, and there are signs of hope.
We still have a long way to go in conquering racism, but hopefully we can continue to make progress as Jesus leads us to treat people with dignity and respect regardless of the color of their skin.
I think the below picture shows how historic this inauguration really is for the United States with regard to race.
See below pictures of our 44 presidents.
