Historic day.

Some years ago I heard Martin Luther King give his "I have a dream" speech, I also have a book about him with his speeches in it. I think maybe today his dream will come true. We have a new American President Elect. All these months' I have seen Barack Obama on T.V., and heard his speeches, his voice had a familiar ring to me, it wasn't until this morning that I remembered Martin Luther King,

Seeing tonight on the News, that Africans are celebrating his win, carrying his photo through the streets, already people are showing more confidence and hope for the future. There is much excitement and optimism in America. In England today, I have felt a sense of excitement and history.

I have heard others commenting about Baracks lack of experience, how he will install people into Office that lack experience, how he has not acheived much as a Senetor. That he is a blackman, and like other black men will do nothing. Is this sour grapes of defeated politions?

In the current economic situation, we are all in need of something to boost our flagging spirits, I hope that this young, family man will be the one to lead America, and so the rest of the world from the muddle of poor politics and greedy business men to a more properous time for all, and not the "have and have not's" situation. That there will be equal opportunity for all, whatever skin colour, whatever sex, and from whatever country.

We need to make the "DREAM" live and succeed.

If this young, family man, who as a skinny black kid come from the back streets of nowhere, with attitutude and determination has lifted himself to the 44th American President. With the same effort, we can attain our own Dreams.

We can be anything and anyone we want to be, the choice is ours. Aim high.
