I saw Nick News with Linda Ellerbee for the first time tonight, didn’t really know what it was, but just stopped on the Nickelodeon channel and there it was.  The show’s theme was on race relations, the recent election and inauguraiton of President Barack Obama and I was amazed at the intelligent, insightful and thoughtful comments the children in the different news segements had to share. It really gives me hope to hear middle and high school students sound so hopeful and focused on the future, but also determined to learn, act and follow through. I am happy that the new president has managed to stir up the youngest generations to action, respect, and determination to accomplish greatness through hard work and persistency.
