History in the Making!
Today will be a proud day in American history. Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president.
Years later, generations will look back at this day in history books as the day America made the choose for change. Where hundreds of thousands of people streamed into Washington to witness his inauguration as the first African-American to be elected to the office of President in the United States.
Looking back into history, I can never imagine what it really felt like when Martin Luther King gave his speech, "I have a Dream". I begin to think this feeling of being proud to be American and excited for change is maybe a fraction of what those 250,000 people whom marched on Washington, D.C to listen Dr. King address felt.
President Obama, just like Dr. King was ready for change.
Recalling a verse from the 1st Book of Corinthians, Obama said, “The time has come to set aside childish things,” and he declared: “Today, I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. “But know this, America — they will be met.”
-Enjoy life, enjoy America!
