In the Hyde Park Section
of Chicago two neighborhoods meet, the heady one of University of Chicago’s
graduate students in Politics and Economics who often contribute to
the tone and the direction of the Nation’s political discourse and
the down home one of working class folk. Both students and neighborhood
folk frequent the Valois Cafeteria. We visited it to see what the spirit
was like in the place where President Obama is said to like to catch breakfast
when he’s home in Chicago. (cont'd)

Civil Rights
Victory and Civil Rights Lost by Bob Swanson
Castro Valley Democratic Club Webmaster
November 9, 2008
I felt an extraordinary exhilaration in
the milestone victory of civil rights with the election of our first African
American President Barack Obama.
Then my exhilaration
was diminished with the knowledge that on the same ballot the civil rights
of a minority were trampled on by what I hoped to be an enlightened electorate.
Haven't we learned
that freedom, the liberty to live the way we wish is the ideal of this
nation under god?
Somewhere between
5 to 10% of our state have been stripped of their inalienable right to
life liberty and the pursuit of happiness by being denied their right to
marry whom they love. This is a terrible sin.
Who will be next
in the state to lose their civil rights?
It is time for
good people to speak up once again.
Dr. Martin Luther
King went to the mountain top and he saw the other side. What he saw was
a world not tainted by convoluted thoughts of discrimination but a world
of genuine equality.
Captured in stone
in the New England Holocaust Memorial are the words of Lutheran Pastor
and concentration camp survivor Martin Niemoeller:
“They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak
up.”
