We the People
I am so  proud to be a citizen of the United States  of America.
 
This weekend, as many of us breathed a cautious sigh of relief, I heard a wonderful interview with the Honorable James Clyburn on the Lawrence O’Donnell show. It was Representative Clyburn’s endorsement of Joe Biden in his quest for the office of President of the United States that turned the tide in Biden’s campaign.  
 
The Honorable James Clyburn had gone to a small, rural church service that Sunday morning. As he walked in, Mrs. Jones, a beautiful, elderly lady, beckoned to him from her seat in the front pew. She had a question.
 
Listen as Representative Clyburn tells the rest of the story:

What a beautiful, meaningful story.  I love it. And it speaks volumes.
 
Check back soon for my next post: Just as Abraham Lincoln stepped into the presidency on the eve of the most devastating time in the history of our country, so does Joseph Biden courageously take this step, at an unimaginably fraught time in our nation’s history.
