was weeping at the end, and I don't cry easily. I'm trying to process why I was weeping - was it because of how terribly he and his family were treated by certain factions of our country? Was it because of what we had with the Obama family and what we have now and how we could sink so low in such a short time? Was it because I'm afraid we'll never get our country back in my lifetime? Was it because I'm old enough to remember Selma?

Probably all of those things. The United States had an amazing opportunity when he was our leader and this country as a whole didn't allow him to accomplish all that he could have. What a shame.
