About 1,000,000 people came to this afternoon's inauguration of our 44th president, Barack Obama. Streets were filled in Washington D.C. and when I saw them waving their flags, I felt proud to be an American. President Obama is right when he said today that this nation has come a long way. Sixty years ago, we would have sent this man to the back of the bus, and now, an African-American man has the opportunity to turn this nation around.
A million people rejoicing in a new start, all thanks to two people that we celebrate this week, Martin Luther King Jr., and our newest President of the United States, Barack Obama.
