I is important to highlight that the election of Obama is just an aspect of King’s dream that has been realized.
It is the result of King’s speech that his four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.
Despite that I’m malian, I’m proud of american democracy and I encourage other countries around the world to do as USA did so that they can live peacefully for the betterment of the nations.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Inaugural festivities of President Barack Obama. My plane from Atlanta was packed with people attending the celebration. Black and white all smiles about what we hope to be able to witness. I was even more fortunate to find my self standing on the curb of the Parade route. I can tell you that I have never been more proud to be an American and also an African American. I have heard people discussing how different the transfer of power is in the United States. It is very different that it is in some other countries. Ours is a peaceful transfer. I thought about that as I was able to actually stand in the street waiting on the parade to reach us. To be able to celebrate and rejoice as we installed our new President. To be able to stand close enough to actually see his face as well as the faces of his family as his car went by. It was as incredible experience. One that I will not soon forget! Martin Luther King would have been proud to see the country unite for this joyous occasion. One of his hopes was that one day Blacks and Whites would be able to join hands and unite. We did unite. We joined symbolic hands as we cast our votes and elected Barack Hussein Obama as our nation’s 44th President and the first African American.

Our nation is going through one of the toughest times that I have seen in my 54 years.
As Dr. Trulear defines hope in the biblical sense. Our election of President Obama is a symbol of hope for our country and hope for the rest of the world. He believes that he can make a difference so he has set out on a journey to try and make changes that will hopefully benefit the nation and the world as a whole.

I personally am hopeful. I pray that things can start to move forward in our country. I pray that things get better soon as I find myself possibly joining the ranks of the thousands of unemployed Americans. Things are really hard and President Obama cannot get the country back on track alone. As Christians we know where our strength really comes from. We have to lean on our faith and belief that GOD will deliver us from this horror that man had brought on him self.

Kudos to Reverend Jones and the Cookman United Methodist Church for their hard work
with the at risk youth that reside in the area. The youth of America can be among the
largest benefactors of what the election of President Obama represents. He represents
what hard work and determination can do. I look an President Obama’s life as a culmination of what can happen when you make good choices. Choices in how you conduct yourself, who you associate with, where you go to school, down to who you choose as a mate. These choices can impact your life greatly. A wrong choice in any one of these categories can derail any hopes that you may have for a bright and promising
future.

What we can do as a people, all people at this point in time is, do our best and be our best.

Congratulations to President Obama, Reverend Donna Jones and Dr. Harold Dean Trulear; you do the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. proud. Keep up the GREAT work.
