We Are One

The list of celebrity speakers and performers was long and impressive. Everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Jamie Fox was in attendance and had the same goal: to encourage the country to unify towards the common goal of making this nation the greatest it can possibly be. I was concerned that people were more excited for Beyonce then the President- Elect, but once our future President and First Lady walked out before the crowd, it was clear why nearly one million people showed up in the cold whether to wait hours for the event to begin. Standing before us, in the same location Dr. King gave his famous I Have a Dream speech, OUR future President addressed his nation and spoke from the heart on the issues we face and the expectations he wishes to set for us as a society. He made it clear that this isn’t about us. We have to make every decision with the future in mind. We should want better for the next generation and strive to provide them with opportunities not afforded to us. This is how success of our nation should be measured. Obama has inspired our nation to take an active role in its future by doing all we can now to improve all aspects of American society.
Simone Williams has graciously offered to allow me to post photos she took during the concert. THEY ARE AMAZING! Look out for them later today! :-)
