If fighting for the rights of others,a prolonged and demonstrated concern for the plight of our forgotten communities and taking a hard won place in history makes Barack Obama a celebrity,no one can deny he is worthy.The thing speaks for itself.
Today marks a monumental and historic milestone and is to millions,particularly African Americans, a "dream come true".Barack Obama will be the first African american to accept the nomination of a major political party in the history of America and it is movingly also the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.Barack Obama delivers his historic acceptance speech this evening in Invesco Field before a crowd of 75,000. 45 years ago, on this very same date in 1963,Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his 'I Have A Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before a crowd of 200,000 supporters.
Find the video of Dr. King's historic speech below.Barack Obama's will be added in a new blog post once the video is available online:
Enjoy Obama's speech.I plan to be surrounded by friends and family when I watch it live this evening.Keep the event lifted up in prayer and positive thought.It is sure to be a "dazzler",one truly worthy of the highest order of celebration.
I dedicate the poem I wrote,"Dream Come True" to this triumphant time.Last nights action on the convention floor nominating Obama by acclamation is proof positive that dreams do come true. His acceptance speech tonight is icing on the cake.Patience,endurance and the long fight for justice will prevail.
As the word and the song goes:"Wait on the Lord and be of good courage. He shall strengthen thine heart.Whom shall I fear?"
