Yes We Can

The aura and vibration of the celebration can be felt all across the globe and its a wonderful feeling of triumph. When the norm questions itself. When the impossible became every bit possible. When the unacceptable became the acceptable.

The land that now truly embrace the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his 'I have a dream' speech on August 28, 1963. in Washington, D.C.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.


The dream being realized after 46 years..when Mr.Barack Obama says 'YES WE CAN' and steps in as the first black president of the strongest nation of the world.
