American history made and I am alive to see it

Yesterday we elected our first Black President one day after celebrating the birthday of an American civil rights hero. It was a moving moment of historic proportions. Journalists are saying that President Obama’s speech was not that great but I have to agree with those that say the fact he was being sworn in was so historic he really didn’t have to say anything. I am proud of our country and I hope we all do our part to make President Obama’s presidency is a success and America moves forward into the 21st century in a positive way.
