Diddy talks about the historic impact of Barack Obama becoming the presumptive Democratic Nominee. I mean I seen the newspapers headings but it hasn’t quite hit me yet, that Barack Obama is a black candidate for President of the United States. I mean now when I have kids they will be reading about him in their history books while I am living in the moment. I think the emotions and words spoken by Diddy hit me in a way because I have yet to really acknowledge the great accomplishment.
Its also a little crazy that Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a Dream” speech was on August 28, 1963 and Barack Obama and the democratic convention is held on August 28, 2008. 45 years later til the day Martin made his historic speech, Obama will accept his democratic nomination for President of the United States of America.
