As I sit in Twelve Lounge in DC with Sorors and Friends, CNN sends across a breaking news flash a few seconds after the polls close on the West Coast. Barak Obama is elected president. History in the making and there is nothing greater than the feeling knowing that years after slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, bus boycotts and marches - 40 years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a Dream - the Dream is no longer deferred. It is indeed a blessing to know that my Grandparents from Georgia who are in their 80's are alive to see this greatly historic evening.
