Barack Obama’s historic 2008 presidential campaign touched on all the themes I have covered throughout my career and all of the layers of meaning that run through black politics. Ambition.

The media has become more forceful, has begun to recognize its traditional historic role and act on it, and truth is infectious.

I really value and appreciate Menaka Guruswamy and Arundhati Katju’s contribution in spearheading the historic judgement of decriminalisation of Section 377 in India.

Forget the historic nature of his election having to do with skin color – Obama has an opportunity offered to few presidents: the chance to set the course of the nation for decades, if not generations, to come. Who knows: perhaps in the near future, our grandchildren will spend money with Obama’s face on it.
Palestine is our unforgettable historic home. The very name would be a force of marvelous potency for summoning our people together.

If in previous decades large historic events drew people together and oriented them toward collective action, the recent double trend toward greater choice but less security leads the young to see their lives in more individual terms. Big events collectivize. Little events atomize.
The U.S. should support the historic Gaza withdrawal as a first step toward a final settlement: a permanent Palestinian state in Gaza and nearly all of the West Bank.
I am proud of the Earnhardt name, but it don’t stand alone. You know, it’s part of the sport, with all those other historic people that have been a part of it, and you don’t want people to forget the part you had in it and what you did and the contributions you made and the sacrifices you made.
I don’t have a dream role as such, but given a chance, I would want to play a historic role.
