Your weekly address ..... from the library.

The historian in me has this need to educate everyone to the sights and history behind where our main man is doing his thing when he does it. Indulge me. ;)

Where slave women once washed the Thomas Jefferson's underwear ..... an African American President now speaks to the nation. Pretty cool eh?

And containing "works representative of a full spectrum of American thought and tradition," this was, no doubt, one of the first rooms Barack wanted to explore. I'm sure he chose this room for reasons OTHER than the fact that he thought the books would look cool behind him. Symbolic indeed.





And NO .... Mrs. Peacock was nowhere near with the candlestick so dont ask. :P
