Thursday afternoon the historic significance of Obama's nomination hit me — this is something my grandparents probably thought they would never see, it's something my mother prayed for and it's something that I knew would eventually come, I just didn't know when. But now my nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephew will know that it's true —as an African-American you can aspire to the highest office in the land.
Thursday night we saw progress ... we are moving in the direction of making Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream a reality.
Whether Obama wins or loses, our country has taken one great big step to realizing that we are a country of equals and regardless of whether we are black, white, green, red or yellow, we can dare to dream and sometimes, dreams do come true.
