What an inspiring moment in American History and a repudiation of the politics of hate and fear in favor of hope and unity. Forty five years ago the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream and tomorrow that dream will come to life.

The inauguration is an American event where we will celebrate the peaceful transition of the president-elect becoming president. I believe Obama rallies America into a common purpose of making it economically stronger, and preserving and pursuing peace throughout the world.

Barack Obama seems to be the type of man who can unite the different factions of the populace. He is a kind of role model for young black men who feel like they can make it, now that they've seen someone else make it. His genius, his voice will be everywhere. Not only is he an educated man, he’s a “street person” who has a great ability to keep himself grounded. He's got all the background, and he is for change, which is something that needs to be done. Barack Obama projects an image and a persona that many people never see in the media, in textbooks, and sometimes in their own communities. So I think this is really going to make a powerful impact not only on African-Americans but the whole of a nation both young and old.
