The Eulogy of All Eulogies

President Obama’s eulogy for Reverend Pinckney yesterday encompassed every element of a fitting tribute:

Context.

History.

Sadness.

Grace.

Hope.

But also, a soaring call to action: “After this tragedy, we can’t allow ourselves as a country to slip into a comfortable silence.”

Preach.

May our dialogue about racism in America be loud, uncomfortable and change-sweeping.
