Today I Woke Up a Black Man
The Dream No Longer Deferred
November 7, 2008
What's up Family!
Can you believe it?! No matter who you are or where you live this historic event has touched so many people in so many ways. For me, it was even more special because my 8 year old nephew was among the group of folks over my house to watch the results. He was so excited. We all were. But that night, after everyone finally went home...I started to think about what it meant to him. And me. I woke up Wednesday morning inspired to write something. Though I know all of you are not Black, or men...and though these words might not speak directly to you... I felt compelled to share them with you. Hopefully it will inspire you as these thoughts inspired me. If they do, feel free to forward this to every parent you know...every teacher, preacher, family or friend.
As always thanks for all your love and support. Let's continue to pray for America, for the World, and for the 44th president of the United States of America... President Barack Obama.
Enjoy!
