Represent.
Today is monumental.
I am so happy that on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s delivery of his infamous “I Have A Dream” speech, a visionary african-american senator can be the first african-american to accept the nomination for president from a major political party.
I hope that this can help to unite Americans regardless of race to work together as one force. Non-white people deserve the exact same rights and priviledges as white people, no more, no less. I believe Barack can help to foster an environment of American brotherhood so white people stop looking down at non-white people as “foreigners” or “immigrants” and start seeing non-white people as fellow Americans.
We are *ALL* people. We *ALL* matter. Barack seems to be the only candidate with a chance of winning that knows that. I hope he wins!
Somewhere Dr. King is looking down on Barack Obama knowing that he paved the path for men like him.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character… I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
