If you have not yet seen the Nation magazine cover that is a drawing of historical figures witnessing Barack Obama being sworn in as president, I urge you to do so.

A picture of that magazine cover is here.

And here's one comment about that magazine cover that was posted in the artist's dailykos diary on that subject:

"Johnmav, your post did bring me to tears.

I had to wait a moment before I could even write this.

You have captured a thousand thoughts, emotions, arguments, and stories, acts of sacrifice, and lifetimes of effort and principled stands in one image.

One image that is breathtaking in its scope, depth of thought, and emotional resonance.

If I had seen this first on the newsstand I would not have been able to keep myself from buying the magazine, whatever it may have been.

I will frame it and hang it. It will be used as a teaching tool. I promise."
