Talk politics.

I find many parallels with my country. SA is in a similar situation. After the dismantling of apartheid it'll probably take an entire generation for the old mindsets to go away. So you're right that it's a long process and not just an event. Still, the event should be celebrated on the particular day because this reminds of the long way that has been walked since then.

Again, amazing post from you but that's no surprise.
