Because so many Americans have been projecting their hopes and dreams onto then-candidate Obama, we put words of hope and change onto his face. But, Obama had been telling us his plans for a long time, that he would proceed with “deliberate haste.” In short, we needed to read his words as well. The text to the left of Obama’s head is taken from his speech on race, “A More Perfect Union,” delivered on March 18, 2008, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. May we all work to form that more perfect union.
