A perfect video for our president's inauguration. Truly profound. Please spend the time to watch.

My wife and I watched this the other night and found it utterly moving, and perfect for a really relevant way to position Obama's presidency. We were really moved.

Sadly.

Can you tell me something about it? Bill Moyers is one of my heroes...an icon.

It talks about the poet's visit to the grave of Frederick Douglas to contemplate the direct connections between he and President Obama in terms of progress for our country.
