Selma


Robert Lucas once said about the topic of economic growth: "The consequences of human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering; once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think of anything else."

Interestingly, I think there is a parallel with regards to race in America. When one starts reading, learning, and thinking about the role of race in American history, it is hard to think of anything else as it pertains to this great country. 

My wife and I saw the movie Selma this Martin Luther King, Jr weekend. Here is a beautiful song from the movie: Glory
