While We Celebrate
As we celebrate the victory of
Barack Obama in the recent U.S. presidential elections, we must give
thanks to those on whose shoulders the victory was won. I am not
talking of the millions of fans and supporters who worked tirelessly to
ensure his success; they deserve our commendation. For now I am thinking
of the leaders who by their efforts, presence, performance and struggles
in the public arena created the way for Obama, some long before Obama
became a household name.
Among these pioneers, two names stand out: Jesse Jackson
and Colin Powell. Thanks for having paved the way.
