2010: The Audacity of our Hopes - Robert Morrison - Townhall Conservative: "Benjamin Brown French strung a banner across the full length of the western portico of the Capitol. The illuminated sign was legible up and down Pennsylvania Avenue. It read:
This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” French was the capital’s commissioner of public buildings.
He was not celebrating the Republicans’ election victories of 2010. French raised his banner—quoting from the 23rd verse of the 118th Psalm—to celebrate the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox the previous Sunday, April 9, 1865.
Still, for millions of us last fall, Commissioner French’s illuminated banner bore the message of our hearts: We prayed for this."
