Barack Obama Picks Up Where King Left Off

It is hard to imagine a more pivotal time in recent political history than tonight, Thursday night, when the first black presidential nominee of a major American political party, will give his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 supporters at Invesco Field in Denver. Not only does he have to satisfy the insatiable dreams of a football stadium full of democrats, but he also has to give a speech that will be forever compared to Martin Luther King’s, ‘I have a dream’ speech, given 45 years ago at the very same time in history. For many Barack Obama is the living embodiment of all that King lived and died for all those years ago.
