The suddenness of that paragraph, in the midst of his speech, was surprising and deeply moving. For me it's also significant that other than naming the three places he didn't identify them as anything more than significant events in the progress of equality for all. For a day, at least, I can let myself feel optimistic. For once, Timothy, I agree 100% with one of your pieces.
