Today, Barack Obama will be inaugurated as this nation’s 44th president.  The cold streets of Washington D.C. will fill up in just hours with as many as two-million Americans of every color and creed—Black and White, Republican and Democrat—to see this historic event.  Among the crowds will be those whose life-experience includes the assassination of Reverend King . . . the reality that the first Black Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, could not find a place to eat with his White colleagues near where he sat in consideration of the laws of this nation . . . and even, perhaps, some who recall the Tuskegee Airman whose actions compelled President Truman to desegregate the Armed Forces on February 2, 1948. History, however, is not the only reason many are gathering.  In the midst of two wars and a deep recession, Americans (and the world abroad) are looking for new leadership and ideas.   It is with high expectations that we ask you to join us in prayer for the new administration.
