but it still stirs me every time I see the old news reels of those common people hammering away at the barrier that denied them their freedom for nearly half a century.

Unfortunately as the above article mentions, the One does not share your emotions. It's somewhat unfathomable how he could not attend. Perhaps we are beginning to zero in on who the One really is. Perhaps Zero should be his anointed integer. In the editorial section of today's local newspaper there's a quote from his address to a crowd in NY at a fund raiser:
Democrats are an opinionated bunch."he said to much laughter and applause. "You know, the other side, they just kind of - sometimes-do what they're told. Democrats, you all are thinking for yourselves."
To appreciate the event, one needs to understand history, have a sense of compassion and enough imagination to generate empathy with all those who were in servitude. I guess it isn't so surprising now.
