The Meaning of Obama’s Victory
When Michelle Obama stated during the presidential campaign that, “For the first time in my adult lifetime I’m really proud of my country” most open-minded people knew what she meant—especially now. I have never been prouder of America. Barack Obama’s monumental presidential victory has inspired hope that America can live up to the egalitarian principles embedded in its constitution. This moment ranks with the Emancipation Proclamation, the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which ended slavery, and the Brown decision as one of the most significant events in the history of U.S. race relations.
The exuberance of this moment parallels the 13th Amendment in many ways. There was euphoria among the slaves that were freed in 1865. However, after the celebrations ended reality set in—the freed slaves had no land, no property, hence, no way to support themselves. The black man who is serving a disproportionate 15-year sentence for the possession of two ounces of narcotics will still serve his sentence. The poor mother who could not afford to put food on the table for her two children on November 3 will probably not be able to put food on the table for her children on January 21, the day after the new president is sworn in.
