Intro
What an exciting time to be alive! As our new U. S. President, Barack Obama takes office, all the hope and promise of his campaign take root. I was there on the mall Inauguration Day, along with 1.8 million others, that frigid winter day as he took the oath of office. As keepers of the culture, we artists and writers, have a great opportunity and responsibility to reflect the fullness and richness that is America. Keep on creating and keep hope alive!
