When you get a chance, look at your old baby pictures. Or your kid’s baby pictures if you are a parent. Notice the faces of the past. They look so foreign sometimes. When looking at photos of my daughter Nora from several years back, I almost must do a double take to make sure I have the right baby. But as I look closer, I see her face in a forgotten face. Her eyes and chubby cheeks are there, just different. I can see where she is today, and what she was in the past, and I piece together all her subtle changes as she sadly matures into what will eventually be a surly teenager.
This is what this episode does for me as a historian. This is some of the first signs I see of America starting to move towards being America. Some good, some bad. We keep this up and our country is going to be shaving soon. HIGHLIGHTS
