This is a day that many (including myself) never thought would come in this lifetime. I am so happy to be wrong. This is a memorable day for many reasons. There is a unification move taking place. This was most evident on election day when our now President Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of this great nation. It was in full bloom today as I looked at the diverse crowd in Washington waiting to share in this historic event.
President Obama's election into office will resound in the African American community for many years to come. It can no longer be said that there will never be a "Black President" in the United States because that challenge has been met. President Obama will serve as a role model for all youth in this country, but especially those African American youth who were limited in their vision of what they could accomplish based on the history of this country. Today, history has officially been changed and dreams have been broadened.
No more limitations of ones dreams. No more excuses for those failing to work towards greatness. This day in history will forever sit in my mind and heart as a constant nudge to continue to strive for greatness regardless of the obstacles that I may face. I hope it motivates you to continue on your path to greatness. I wish you well in your endeavors.
Change has come.
