Mr. Obama, I’d like first to say, thank you for taking that grand step that will open doors for my children’s future. You ran your campaign in the true stile of a gentleman, with all the grace and beauty. This was not just a race about you being a black man; this was about the opportunity for all people to have a voice. You sir, Mr. Obama have become the long awaited voice, that cry for freedom. I image that from heaven both your grandmother and Martin Luther King Jr. are smiling down at you with tears of joy and a long awaited exhale. Your dream became our new world. I thank God and your family for you. We love you, my little boy can look at you and say, “ he looks like me, mom, I can do that too”, you put a smile of hope into my children, all five of them. You have given me hope for a future that I too can be prude of. As a black woman, I can raise my head high and walk with freedom at my back. I can tell my children to dream big, for look at your new President, he made history. Thank you again, for you will walk among the blood, sweat and tears of our pass, those who dead to create the steps that you will cross to enter your station of life.
