"I never dared dream of a black president"

[rhythmaning]

The Independent today had an article in which various black Americans express their hopes for the US election.

I particularly like the comments by Jay-Z:

"Rosa Parks sat so that Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so that Obama could run. Obama's running so that we all can fly."

I hope the article isn't premature - I'd have preferred that they had waited until the results of the election were known!
