Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Yesterday, 2 million spectators,
Christy and I congregated between the Washington Memorial and Lincoln Memorial to watch the start of the inaugural ceremonies for President-Elect Obama.
The two hour event featured speeches and music by many high profile celebrities, a majority of them were African American, such as
Denzel Washington, Jamie
Foxx, Queen
Latifah, Mary J.
Blige,
Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Forrest
Whittiker, Samuel L. Jackson, Tiger Woods, John Legend, Herbie Hancock and more!! I thought to myself, wow, this must be the first time ever that so many African Americans were asked to perform and celebrate with the incoming president... and, as a result, this must be the first time it's so much fun! I mean, Jamie
Foxx did a shout out to Chi-town, even hollered Chicago's area code "312" at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. How awesome is that? I am so happy that we finally have a black president. Let's keep it real and keep it going!
