"Then Biden turned to a speech that centered on faith. Churches talk a lot about Jesus being buried on Friday and rising from the dead on Sunday, he said, “but we don’t talk enough about Saturday, when… his disciples felt all hope was lost. In our lives and the lives of the nation, we have those Saturdays—to bear witness the day before glory, seeing people’s pain and not looking away. But what work is done on Saturday to move pain to purpose? How can faith get a man, get a nation through what was to come?”
Very Lincolnesque. The speech is from Biden's commencement address at Morehouse College, a historically Black school of higher education founded in the aftermath of the Civil War. MLK was a "Morehouse man." Best case Biden has made yet that he is the right man for the moment.
Go Joe!
