When I was five, my father woke me to watch Nixon's resignation speech. "This is history," he told me. "I hope you always remember this sad moment in our country's history." And I have.
In a few minutes, I will wake E to watch Obama's speech. "This is history," I will tell her. "I hope you always remember this moment as one of pride and hope." And I believe she will.
