The inspiration to create this Blog came yesterday January 20, 2009 when I was fortunate
enough witness Barack Obama taking the oath of office as the 44Th President ,and the First
Black President of the United States of America in Washington D.C. . on the Capital steps.
I attended with my Son and his 2 sons , my grandsons, to witness a moment in time that We will
never forget and treasure the rest of our lives.
Being of African-American Heritage with Multi Racial Ancestry in our family, including
Bloodlines of African, French, and American Indian ,Irish plus other ethnic genes in our family,we readily identified with Barack and reveled in his historic accomplishment.
His election to the highest office in the land fulfills a dream that my parents had and was
given voice to by Martin Luther King's speech some 40 plus years ago at this very same
Location.
I was particularly inspired when Barack voiced his vision of the future in his inaugural speech
when he spoke these words.
"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace. "
Time will tell if Barack can deliver on his promises , but he will need our help, he cannot do it
without God and our support.
We plan to monitor and chronicle Barack's progress and we ask for your help and suggestions
to make the Dream a reality.
