It struck me full force, while watching the events in Washington this week, that the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is about the character of a man, the strength of a family and sense of hope and possibility. I remember with the same sense of awe, the character of the parents of children who attended that first summer program that became Upward Bound. I wondered why these generous, gracious parents would trust anyone who looked like their oppressors?
