Here’s to my daughter or son growing up in a world where it won’t be an amazing accomplishment for an African-American to win the presidency, because s\/he’ll know that anyone<\/em> is capable of it. <\/p>\n

Here’s to our children having bigger dreams, for themselves and their country.<\/p>\n

But while I smile, I know we’re not out of the woods yet. When I see that California voters have approved Proposition 8<\/a>, the ban on same-sex marriage, I know that we still have a long way to go before everyone in America is accorded the same rights and privileges as everyone else. I just hope I can teach my child that difference is what makes our world interesting<\/em> and that no one is less deserving of things than anyone else. <\/p>\n

But this is really a great day, and a great step, towards a better future for America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
