Hitting the ground Running

I've been back in College Park for 2 weeks now, and things have been so crazy I haven't had time to communicate much. Our team was called back to campus a week before classes started so we could meet together. In the meantime, Washington, D.C. heated up. The first black president was sworn into office in front of millions on the National Mall. Barack Obama is also perhaps the most pro-abortion president we've seen. Not two days after his inauguration, pro-life groups gathered to tread the same National Mall in their annual March for Life. Mixed emotions grapple within me as I witness a triumphant historical event for civil rights, and just days later commemorate the tragic transgression of those same rights. How paradoxical that we celebrate Mr. Obama and the civil rights victory that he stands for, when what he has stood for in part is the forceful robbery of other civil rights.
