President Obama's moving farewell speech
President Obama's farewell speech truly moved me. His statements on immigrants were especially poignant as he said, "If we're unwilling to invest in the children of immigrants, just because they don't look like us, we will diminish the prospects of our own children - because those brown kids will represent a larger and larger share of America's workforce". Indeed, Obama ran in the relay of evolution with the baton of humanity and humility passed over to him by the likes of Abraham Lincoln, who had reiterated the need for ending slavery: "Whenever I hear one arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
