The Times, They Are A-Changin'

In a post with links to video of President Obama's eulogy for Senator Kennedy I found a perceptive comment at Political Animal:

When he entered the Senate, Jim Crow segregation still existed. In much of the country blacks couldn't vote or were taking their lives into their hands if they did. When his Senate career ended with his death, the U.S. had a black president who delivered the eulogy at the funeral.

Yeah, and at least in my case, I didn't think twice about it.
