President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia wait with former President George W.

Think about how powerful this photo is. Imagine the reaction of a black man if you could pluck him from the 1950s and show him this future. We all get really discouraged with society sometimes, especially these turbulent days, but its important to remember that we are moving forward. We are becoming better. We can heal our wounds. Michelle Obama's great great grandmother was a slave. I wish she could see the future her blood line would take part in. We are moving in the right direction, even if it isn't as quick as we like or we don't see the results right away.

I should probably know who the guy is holding hands with Barack and Michelle, regardless that is one lucky dude.
