Dream Coming True
Forty-eight years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous I Have A Dream (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/mlk01.asp) speech. This evening, FOX News is headlining Herman Cain's surge in the polls, Cain Squeaks Ahead of Obama in New Election Poll (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/17/cain-squeaks-ahead-obama-in-new-general-election-poll/?test=latestnews). Whether or not HC stays at the top or is just the "flavor of the month," as Larry Sabato believes, all Americans should pause to be properly appreciative of this moment. Not only is the first black president - a former senator - serving in the Oval Office, but his strongest opposition at this moment is successful black businessman - a former CEO and chairman of the Board of Directors at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City (http://www.hermancain.com/about). While much remains to be discussed on the subject of race in America, we should all recognize the significance of this moment in American history.
