I have been to S Africa
I went to the house where Mandela had been arrested.
My grown son cried,
I was forever changed

If the Obamas took away what most people experience in this Great Man's shadow
then we will all gain DIGNITY from this.
I even wonder if Obama's speech on Race had been inspired by this particular experience

not cheap at all...
