Thursday, August 28, 2008 will be a night to remember. On that day, the 45th anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech, the first African-American to be nominated to a presidential ticket in US history will stand before 75,000 people in Denver's football stadium and hundreds of millions watching it on TV and claim a new narrative for American history. No matter what happens before or after, this moment will be the one to savior. Given this announcement by the Obama campaign, I thought it would be useful to post a video of his St. Paul victory speech on June 3, after clinching the nomination. Call me a sap, but I get goose bumps every time I rerun this speech.
