Keeping my journalistic responsibility of non partisan reporting is hard to do when you witness a man make history. YOU(th) Vote was there in Denver, CO at Mile High Stadium when Senator Barack Obama officially made his Democratic nominee acceptance speech. Despite the medias effort to focus on Obama’s race, there was nothing but pure multi culturalism in that stadium. People from all walks of life, young, old, black, white, Asian, Indian, gay, straight, disabled not only gathered to watch Obama make history-but to be apart of it.

I personally couldn’t help but to be a emotional at the sight of this man-the physical embodiment and manifestation of all my hopes, dreams and aspirations not only as a Black Woman, but as an American.

Michelle of course looked gorgeous. Dawning a hot pink and black dress, purposefully matching the hue of her daughters outfits.

Never in my lifetime (and I still have a ways to go) did I think I would see white, conservative, white or blue collar men or women walking around with the face of a black man plastered across their chest, his name written on their cheeks, or a pin baring his resemblance on their chest. But then I realize that he’s more than that- he truly transcends societal labels to unite his supports and America in a chorus of voices chanting “Yes We Can.”
