WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY!! YES WE DID!!

It's a bright and shining 1st day in a new America!! President Barack Obama took the official oath of office yesterday and the country, some say the world, changed forever. We will remember this moment as period in time when we as an American people banded together to reach out and helped each other do something truly historic. We are in the toughest economic climate of any era since the Great Depression. The number of Americans that have lost their jobs is both staggering and sobering. It is with the spirit of our forebears of that resourceful generation, that we begin a fantastic trek into the beyond, daring to leave our own indelible mark on the fabric of this nation.

Unfortunately, I did not get to attend the inaugural celebration in Washington D. C. no, I spent my morning re-registering for spring classes at Richland College. The significance of the moment permeated the atmosphere of the entire campus. Every person that wanted to ceremony was able to witness to the greatest triumph for American race relations since the demolition of Jim Crow. As I waited patiently in line to pay my tuition for my classes, President Obama was sworn in and then he took the podium as President of the United States, for the first time. He then proceeded to talk to the nation and the world, delivering his most profound declaration that "change" has finally come to America. From on that moment and throughout his inaugural address, the silence that surrounded the registration office inside Thunderduck Hall was unmistakable. The nation stood still as he spoke about the amazingly challenging job we are all beginning together. With President Obama's inspirational words engulfing my entity, I was moved to capture some of the day with my hand cam to share my experience on the day a black man became president.

CHANGE HAS COME AMERICA!!!



After leaving campus the magnitude of the moment continued to build up inside of me so, I turned on the cam again while I drove to share my message of hope for the future for myself and this transcendent country .
Yes we can!!
