America

It is instances such as yesterday's election that truly captures the essence of the nobility and progression and acceptance of the human race. A country wherein race was the soul of decisions and the sole basis with which we based our standards, it is a great day when a black man can step onto a platform, as did Martin Luther King Jr. during his leadership throughout the Civil Rights Movement, and proclaim virtual sovereignty (presidency) over a nation that once condemned his tainted race. I'm sure Dr. King looks down upon us now with favor and acceptance and peace. In a currently politically divided nation as well as one in an economic crisis, I'm sure we can all agree that we've done our nation proud and, in this case, lived up to our nation's credo, that All Men Are Created Equal, as well as, to a further extent, the American Dream and the pursuit of life, liberty, and opportunity.
