We were in Argentina when the wall came down, so we didn't get to see any of the footage. But I remember being driven home from SFO by our friend Pat, and she was talking about how incredible it was. Strange that a car ride is the memory that sticks for me. Of course the only reason I remember it is because we all knew that this was the undoing of a terrible wrong, and there was a tremendous feeling of geopolitics moving forward for humanity. <br />I wish I could say the same thing now, in this country, about our politics moving forward. Unfortunately, it feels like we are now undoing good things that were done for women and minorities. So often, it does not feel like a time of moving forward for humanity.SJHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609226301875693284noreply@blogger.com
