This past weeks Supreme Court decision was a monumental moment in American history, as it guaranteed the right for gays and lesbians to get married and established full marriage equality.
"This has been a historic week for all of us. We were victorious in the biggest civil rights battle in my generation's history to date - now our LGBT friends and family can finally marry the person they love in all 50 states. A flag that represents arguably the most tragic period in our nation's history is coming down all across the South and big corporations are refusing to sell this symbol of hatred. And, people like me were allowed to keep the healthcare we desperately need and deserve. It is weeks like this that make me proud to be an American! How did this week make you feel?"
"How did the two parties switch places regarding the South, white supremacy, and civil rights? In Lincoln’s day, a radical Republican was an abolitionist, and when blacks did get the vote, they almost unanimously voted Republican. Today, the archetypal Republican is a Southern white, and blacks are almost all Democrats. How did American politics get from there to here?"
