Yes We Can, A Montage

Yo check out this link, if you haven't already seen it.  It is a music video montage inspired by Senator Barack Obama's speech after the 2008 New Hampshire primary.

I found it very touching, and I became very proud/emotional for how far Black people have come in this nation, despite racism, bigotry, and discrimination.  Our nation is changing, and we young people are part of a living movement, one that will be talked about in history books to come.  While America is yet to be a true meritocracy or live up to the American ideal, it warms my soul to know that the centuries of suffering, dreams of visionaries and hard work on many people's behalf have not gone to waste.  Yes We Can... progress... and We Have.
