O.K., it's just hit me.

The Democrats have nominated Barack Obama for President. The first African-American man to be nominated by a major party for President of the United States. And he'll speak tomorrow on the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Whoa. I really can't help but smile. (And after spending a lot of time this week looking over and worrying over the statistics that show that in my school, like in schools nationwide, African-American kids are not achieving at the same levels as their White peers, I needed that.)
