For all the moving photos of the campaign trail, of the rally at Grant Park, and of the headlines around the world, the most moving photo for me was the photo in the New York Times on November 5, of ""Latrice Barnes and her daughter.
Judith Warner wrote of this photo in the same paper the following day: "For me, this will be the enduring memory of election night 2008: One generation released its grief. The next looked up confusedly, eager to please and yet unable to comprehend just what the tears were about."
Barack Obama is right. Younger people are indeed growing up in a world of new sensibilities!
