Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Your Dream is Now a Reality
That little baby boy is now a man; his name is Barack Obama. Barack Obama is now the president-elect of the United States of America. Tomorrow Americans will celebrate the Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. The first African-American president of the United States of America. He too have a dream. His dreams are similar to your dreams. His dream is to bring all people together, democrats and republicans, blacks, whites, Jews, Mexicans, Indians, no matter what you race might be. Obama dream is to bring together the young and old, gays and straight, homeless and rich, disabled and able.
Your dreams have been fulfilled. Barack Obama's dreams will also be fulfilled. God will guide Obama as he has guided you on your path to freedom and equality for all.
Today, there's so much excitement and energy in the air. Americans are on fire with excitements. With the help from GOD you led us to this day. I know that all things are from GOD; you listened to GOD's call and you led us to this day. Today is electric! So much electricity and excitement and energy are in every State of America. Tomorrow we will make History in a big way. Your dreams are now a reality.
This is the day you worked for, this is the day you went to jail for, approximately 24 times; this is the day you fought for so many years and was assaulted for, at least four times, this is the day you died for. They took away your life but they could not take away your dreams. They could not take away your spirit. You still live in the hearts of many. Your death was not in vain.
Because of you, we Americans stood together and elected an African American man for our 44th president of the United States of America. You fought for equality for all. You fought for the day that all Americans will come together as one; the day that we could look past skin color and see a man for what he was, regardless of his color. That day came on November fourth two thousand and eight. That was a day many of us thought we would never live to see. Sen. Barack Obama became our president-elect in spite of his skin color.
That African American man with the odd name spoke and Americans listened, he traveled, and Americans followed. Hundredths of thousands of people gathered to listen to what he had to say, wherever he was. He believes in change for all people. Americans believe he can help bring that change.
If you were here you would be so proud of Barack Obama. You would be able to say my dreams are fulfilled. Barack Obama has already done more to bring people together than any civil rights leader that I know, since the days of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Like you, Obama's dream is to bring all men together. He believes in a change. Your dream is no longer a dream; your dream is now a reality. A reality that your children lived to see. A reality that many of us thought we would never see in our life time.
A large part of this day belongs to you and your fight. This day happened because of you. All things comes from GOD who led you through your fight and kept your dreams going through many of us. GOD showed you the way and you followed HIS lead. Because you kept the faith and fought for what you believed in; because you believed in the dream that God showed you. GOD has now led Americans to the day when we stood up together and elected the first African-American man as our 44th President of the United States of America.
You never lost your faith in GOD, even thought you knew your life was in danger; your life was snatched away from you much too soon. However, GOD has allowed your children to witness your dream come true. We Americans stood up for change, we stood up for a better tomorrow, and we stood up together and elected our first African American president of the United States of America. Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King.

Thanks for your comment Dr. RaDine. I personally believe that Dr. Martin luther King's dream was that all people come together and put an end to racism; that a man be judged for who he is and not by the color of his skin. When Barack Obama was elected president of the US; a very large part of Dr. King's dream came true. We, Amaeicans, voted for Obama in spite of being African American. All races came together and got the man we believed was best for the job, in spite of his skin color.
Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream
Is it really Barack Obama or has the dream yet to come?
Who are the Negro People?
As the new U.S President B. Obama touts about being the embodiment of the late DR. Martin Luther King dream for America, I can't help but wonder, who are the people DR. King is talking about when he speaks of the Negro People? Who are the Negro people?
Has anyone taken the time to read and comprehend Dr. Martin Luther Kings I HAVE A DREAM speech, if they did they will notice there is no mention of African people, African struggle, African Americans.
I Have a Dream states "One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."
He only mentions the condition of the Negro people in their homeland of

great piece of writing
Well written
How exciting to see Rev. Lowery as part of the inaguaration ceremony. He once was not allowed to drink out of a public water fountain (and all of that Jim Crow South horrors) and among the many living who worked with MLK, so that this day could become a reality. Marion Robinson is also of that age, although I do not think she ever lived in the south, so how exciting for her to be living in the White House.
Very moving and emotionally evocative. Politics aside - this is a day that MLK would be proud of. I think he knew in his heart that a day like this was possible. He had that much hope. Great article.
super read!
Anthony, I agree with you 100%.
