A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words of Sorrow
I feel particularly strong about this because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay, was of a mother at Arlington Cemetery and she had her head on the headstone of her son's grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone, and it gave his awards - Purple Heart, Bronze Star - showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death, he was 20 years old. And then at the very top of the head stone, it didn't have a Christian cross. It didn't have a Star of David. It has a crescent and star of the Islamic faith.

The Boogiedown Bronx Says "Yes We Can"
I was born and raised in the South Bronx section of New York City. I attended Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx and was one of only 8 black young men to graduated from a 95% white class in 1986.
These young kids who attend the Bronx High School of Performing Arts and Stagecraft have truly been inspired by the same words that have inspired me. If Barack Obama can touch these young men and women with his words of hope and change in America, in my opinion he has already won.

20 Year Black Registered Republican Joins the Obama Movement
I was so moved by this speech that I am now going to join the movement of Barack Obama even though I am a registered republican. I have been a republican ever since I could vote some 20+ years ago but I am also a black man. I saw this attack on Mr. Obama's campaign as one that had no way out for him to defend himself. If you denounced Rev Wright he would be made into a back stabber to the American public and if you defended him he would be crucified in the media over the words the Reverend used for the rest of his campaign. I was so impressed with how this speech not only told the story of a man who was angry and bitter at what was going on in his own past and what was going on in the world at that time but he took away all of the criticisms that were against him one after the other. It was a masterful speech and I will look to replay it and share it again and again with my 4 year old son and the rest of my family and friends.
