This week's issue of Newsweek offers an interesting perspective on the social climates of American Culture today and how our ideals, beliefs, strengths and weaknesses are linked directly to Jackson and a history that is nearly 150 years old. As progressive as we like to think we are, we are, in the end, only human. And as humans, we tend to find ourselves reliving history.
Yes, America did make history on Tuesday. We elected this nation's first black President. But that selection didn't come easy. It was 150 years in the making.
