It's a new day...a beautiful day!

Barack Obama is the new President! It is difficult to express in words ones feelings being of color in America and having the privilege to experience this ground breaking event. It is something all Americans will surely never forget and tell their kids & grand kids about. But it is particularly a moment of reflection and redemption for people of color who perhaps never thought whey would witness this in their lifetime. This is one of those moments where you will always remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when it became official that Barack Obama had officially become our President. People were rejoicing in the streets here and abroad. A feeling of disbelief and utter euphoria rushed over me simultaneously. Right away I thought of Martin Luther King looking down somewhere and feeling as a sense of supreme accomplishment. I felt like finally his death TRULY was not in vain.
I can truthfully say America The Beautiful now and feel as though I mean it.
We are on our way.
