I saw this woman speak at UIC in early 1982. In those days, the USA and Russia were at the height of the Cold War, and the issue then was if we'd pull through, now that Reagan was just in acting the hot head, taking money away from Education and putting it into the military. (No, and that had nothing to do with the Berlin Wall coming down). Alice Walker told us detonating a nuclear weapon was like taking a piece of the Sun and throwing it to Earth. I never thought I\'d see the day a Black man got in the White House, but it came sooner than any of us thought imaginable. Thankfully, with that in mind, maybe we can one day also see the day when we can all get along on the Earth, and scrap nuclear weapons- as well Nuclear Energy, (which is the real fear I have, because exposure to Radiation is also no Joke) 
No, obama is no savior, by a long shot, we are.
