I just watched the video (here's a handy link courtesy my friend Justine) of the Australian Prime Ministers speech yesterday, the apology to Australia's indigenous populations. (Yeah, I'm a day behind. I blame deadlines.)

You should, too. "Historic" doesn't cover it. And the transcript does not catch the flavor or the full impact at all.

This is just a beginning, a first step, but it's as solid a one as we've seen in a while.

America could learn a great deal from Australia's example. There are so many stolen generations in this country and they too deserve a sincere apology and a call for retributions. Tears washed my eyes as I witnessed this historical speech and the hope for the future for the Austrailan people as a whole from this moment on warmed my heart.
