In a commencement speech at New York's City College, Michelle had these words to say:
"It's the story that I witness every day, when I wake up in a house that
was built by slaves. Two beautiful black young women head off to
school, waving goodbye to their father, the president of the United
States, the son of a man of Kenya who came here to America for the same
reasons as many of you: to get an education and improve his prospects in
life . . . . So graduates, while I think it's fair to say that our founding fathers
never could have imagined this day, all of you are very much the fruits
of their vision."
Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
