A Surprise Feeling
I just saw the tape of Condoleezza Rice’s swearing-in as Secretary of State. Behind her stood her mother and father.
Rice came into the world during segregation in a segregated Alabama. Unlike Madelaine Albright, who discovered she was Jewish when a Jew in the cabinet migh help her president, Secretary Rice has known her life that she’s black. In Alabama [...]

The More They Stay the Same
