Will Power

I've long been a fan of columnist George Will, who I believe is one of the more intelligent writers of our time.
His column this week holds particular appeal, because he writes about progress.
Sounds like potentially boring topic, right? Unless you look at American history and watch the progress over the last 100 years of how United States society has treated blacks.
Then you see the progress when you look at the 2008 United States presidential race.

He encourages the reader to remember Springfield, Illinois, race riots and killings in 1908.
It provides an interesting perspective. No matter how messy the presidential race gets over these next few months, remember, we're still making progress.
