The phrases "history in the making" and "this historic day" are going berzerk right now. What does it mean to have one foot in history and the other in there here-and-now? Does it mean that we have permission today to recognize racism as a hallmark of the past? Does it mean we are recognizing that race matters even now, in the present?
It's interesting that we are hearing these phrases so abundantly and with virtually no reference to race at all.
