Post Obama, continued

Abraham Woods, a Civil Rights activist in the 1960's, a colleague of Martin Luther King and others, died this week.  In his obit in the New York Times yesterday, his granddaughter Marian Bell told this story:  'On election night last week, in his hospital room,  Ms. Bell asked him what he was thinking about the results.  He said, "If I could wake up Martin, Coretta, Rosa" along with other leaders of the struggle, "I would tell them that my son Barack made it."'  

Have a good Friday.
