...opportunities. No matter where we lived or how we behaved, we were all bound by the knowledge that there were things we couldn’t do and places we couldn’t go, all because of the color of our skin. It was a bit like being stuck together in a crowded room with no doors. I cannot say that Barack Obama has let us out of that room, but he has at least opened a skylight and given us all something more in common than centuries of accumulated hatred...
