PROGRESS IN MY 74 YEARS: Today we normalized relations with Cuba. During the Cuban missile crisis, 20 somethings like myself were gathered around the TV listening to Kennedy and we just missed thermonuclear war when Russia backed down. For 48 hours we were sure we were going to war. I lived to see civil rights extended to all non white people. I lived to see a black president. I know. Things are not perfect yet but we are striving for a more perfect union. The day I was born in 1940, the newspaper headline was that Sweden let Nazi troop trains to cross their country and occupy Norway. A year and a half later we entered the war and beat the Nazis and the Japs. I saw Israel become a homeland for the persecuted Jews from around the world when I was 8 in 1948. The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long But It Bends Toward Justice. I believe that because I have observed it during my lifetime. You young people must not give up hope. quoteinvestigator/2012/11/15/arc-of-universe/
