Dilemma: America in Motion

Thirteen chapters into the writing of this book, I decided to take a break amid the chaos of the sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of the political landscape, and the chatter of the virulent and obtrusive discourse, of which, in many instances, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. To reflect for a moment to reminiscence a place and time of what I thought to be of historical significance, to the date of January 20, 2009, on the bright, but cold and brisk day in Washington, D.C., perched on the capital steps, wherein the first African American, Borack Hussien Obama, took the oath of office to defend the ampice of the United States of America.
