The Significance of August 28th
[Note: Today I am turning this space over to my good friend the writer and playwright Ifa Bayeza. Ifa's critically acclaimed play "The Ballad of Emmett Till" completed a successful run at the Goodman Theater here in Chicago a year ago, where it premiered. She recently received the prestigious Edgar Award (as in Edgar Allan Poe) for Best Play. Here Bayeza shares her observations about the deep significance of August 28th (today) as it relates to Emmett Till's death and more recent events that we should be cognizant of.]

One year ago today, Barack Obama accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party for the office of President of the United States. It was a crystal Denver evening, a twilight sky.
