Why This Picture is the Most Important of the Election

This was taken in St. Louis, Missouri on October 18th. In the foreground on the right, there is a small stage, occupied by the slender frame of Barrack Obama. In the distance is the St. Louis Courthouse, a remnant of days past. I say this, because it was in that very courthouse that the case of Dred Scott v. Sanford was tried. Where it was declared those of African descent could never be citizens of the United States.

Well, how far we have come.
