A flood of emotions overtook me last night in Grant Park, downtown Chicago. The air was electric. As soon as word reached the ecstatic crowd's ears of McCain's conceding, cheering ensued; some laughed as others cried. Fists shot in the air and hugs were given. Race meant nothing as all people shared in the celebrations.
Thousands took to the streets chanting O-Ba-Ma! O-Ba-Ma! Police stood in groups, unable to keep smiles off their faces. History was made last night as the world looked down upon Chicago, and I'm so happy I was there to see it...no -- live it!
Change starts now.
