Roger Wilkins (AARP The Magazine)
"Roger Wilkins on Hope and Obama" is a moving essay about how he and his daughter viewed the 2008 election.
"Both of us wanted the 2008 election to bring change to the nation―to make a more perfect union for the many Americans who suffer injustice, poverty, and despair. But when the prospect of Obama was put before us, our divergent life stories stirred responses that clashed."
