President Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech
Normal
Witnessing History
If one is alive today, then one is witnessing history in the making. We are alive to see the first African American President of the United States of America. Looking back to the notorious past of our nation regarding the enslavement of African American people, one would never have guessed we would see a black president. The transition the nation has made from the time of Martin Luther King Junior's I Have a Dream speech, to president Obama's acceptance speech only illuminates the potential strength of our nation. Our nation faces callous times once again. A declining economy, and terrorism that seems to have divided our country lurke around the corners of our nation. Times may be grim, however our president has encouraged us that there will be changes taken pace to rebuild our nation, brick by brick. Overcoming obsticales in the past leaves hope that we have the ability to do so once again. With a smart, sophisticated, and sensible president can we improve the conditions we face? "Yes We Can."
