“I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans,” she said after the meeting with Trump, the first time the two have met in-person.

          This is actually understandable when you consider him a symbol of a new era of race relations in the United States. Unfortunately, this turned out to not be the case but there was a beautiful moment of hope at the time.
