History

45 years to the day, a black man marveled during his time, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I have a dream speech to a massive crowd that wanted Change. Ironically, we sit here in History once again with Senator Barak Obama looking to galvanize the people to continue the proliferation of change that is not only needed but long overdue. Last night we sat in Bear Rock Cafe watching CSPAN with other adoring Democratic fans. Not because we could not have watched silently in our homes, but the change that we seek should not be a single persons burden. In a mixed crowd of all races and sexes we cheered as Al Gore spoke, as MLK III spoke and hollered when Barney Smith said he wanted a president that "Put Barney Smith ahead of Smith Barney."

When speaking with my Grandparents earlier this week, it was interesting to hear how proud they were that an African American man was the Democratic nominee. By the same breath, they also said its gonna be a tough fight. Not that a Presidential fight is not common, but they (the Republicans) have 72 more days to continue the craziness.

Now that you have seen the acceptance speech, what are you gonna do now. We have the chance to see history twice in 2008 but it will not happen if you just watch TV. Get out to vote, take a carload of friends with you and make our Parents and Grandparents proud to have worked toward history 45 years ago.
