Talking Points

"It's absolutely phenomenal that 45 years after Dr. King made his speech, an African-American man is accepting the nomination for president of the United States. If you had suggested that 45 years ago, people would have thought you were crazy."
--NEA President Reg Weaver in Thursday's Pittsburgh Review-Tribune.

I find it very smart to have done is speach the same day MLK jr did his. A very moving moment. Reminding the people of America, change, and how possible it is. Lets hope Obamas life does not end the same way MLK or even JFK ended but instead this time around America will put aside race and instead vote upon truth and policy's. Many people still see this as crazy but change is always good, this is our time to make that change.
