…on the Change Trail

Nostra-Bama?
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann reported last night that his high School history teacher, the late Walter Schneller, from Hackley High in Tarrytown, New York, was in charge of the guest speaker program during the 1990’s. Olbermann said, “…(When choosing a speaker)Mr. Schneller cast a wide net seeking interesting people with diverse and compelling backgrounds no matter how obscure at the time.” For Black history month in 1991, Mr. Schneller found a 3rd year law student from Harvard University.

And in the next edition of the school newspaper following that presentation, Alicia Yagodo reported, “…throughout his speech…(the speaker) emphasized that change is possible…” She went on to write, “…the core of his ideas was that, as the nation comes out of the conservative, money-hungry, and cynical atmosphere of the eighties, it needs the idealism of a socially conscious generation coupled with actions to fulfill idealistic goals…” Hackley Review, Spring 1991.

The guest speaker was, you guessed it, Barack Obama.
