Speaking of history

Obviously since I live in Minneapolis, I live in the 5th congressional district in Minnesota. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that district just had a noteworthy election. Keith Ellison was just elected. Here's his victory speech at Minnesota's DFL headquarters. (This link opens a video, video may open in windows media player.) Two things about this: One, he reminds me of Barak Obama and other talented, charismatic politicians who may possibly have a soul and a conscience. Second, I love the part where he talks about our responsibility to take care of each other, and that we do well when we all do well.
