A day like no other

I witnessed history today. I witnessed glory today. I witnessed amazement today. The dream of the slave. The dream of the segregated. The dream of downtrodden. Once. considered three fifths of a white man. Now, President of the United States of America. I am overwhelmed. I am ecstatic. I am reborn. Maybe this second generation Militant will be able to soften. (A little anyway.) The peaceful transfer of power. A speech that not only acknowledged the greatness of the day, but the fantastic task ahead. It was so dynamic. It was so strong. It was so unapologetic. It was so REAL. He is a man. He is a Black man. He is an American man. President Barack Obama.
