Today’s the day that so many people never thought they would see. An African-American gets sworn in as President of the United States of America. A black leader of any Western country would be remarkable, but it is even more so given the history of the USA and the role of race within it.

I’m sure that over time many people will be disappointed with Obama, as he grapples with challenges at home and abroad. But let us sweep aside those worries for today and enjoy a real moment of history.
