This image speaks volumes, I can't help but wonder if non-black individuals will look at images like this and those that are similar and feel fear; inplace of a sense of deep and abiding happiness.
Jazzy - My hope is that all Americans (regardless of race or nationality) will feel pride at knowing that our nation is truly at a turning point in dealing with the issue of race. If a Blackman can become POTUS ... then we may find it easier to accept people of African descent as governors, senators, CEOs and neighbors...
My first response to this images was to wonder whether or not our ancestor could have imagined that a Black man would be a major party nominee for the presidency, just 40 years or so after the Civil Rights Movement.
But then I realized that even I, as recently as early 2008, was barely able to imagine such a milestone taking place in my own lifetime.
Ajuan - I think that GWC-Jr would have been very proud of the Obama campaign. I suspect he would be maxed out on his personal campaign contribution ... and he would be smiling every time he saw Obama on television...
