My latest post to Casting Stones:
Senator Barack Obama is now the Democratic Party’s candidate for the presidency of the United States. Whether you are going to vote for him or not, this is an incredible moment for the grand experiment that is the United States of America.
Here is a comparatively young man (47), a person of color (his father was a Kenyan), who has risen by virtue of his impressive intelligence and skills to being one step away from the pinnacle of success in American political life.
It is indeed fitting, and even poetic, that Senator Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
