...There is also the Hope of reconciliation, the Hope of a peaceful village.

The cleansing is represented first and foremost by the President’s multicultural heritage and the fact that within the White House, there will soon reside two little girls, Malia and Sasha, who are the descendants of slaves. Black Americans can now tell their children they can be anything they desire and truly mean it. In time, they won?...

He was always busy. Looking at his accomplishments and activities is a lesson in achievement. Peter was incredibly active in all of his courses and his research. He also found time to perform as a violinist in the Mozart Society Orchestra and serve as an English-language tutor for the Phillips Brooks House Association’s Chinatown tutoring program. But he never let his activities come...
