Say it Loud!

Reverend Joseph Lowerey channels Paul Simon's chorus during his benediction at the Inaugural Ceremony:

Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is right.

Update: Reverend Lowerey was actually quoting himself, it turns out (scroll down).
