Obama to Accept Nod on Symbolic Day
Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28,1963, Martin Luther King Jr. shared his vision for a new America: “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal,’ ” he said before a crowd of hundreds of thousands. King’s dream for a land where his children would “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” would be repeated, meditated upon and memorized for generations to come.

Damon Dash Loses Pro-Keds, Sells Rights
Stride Rite Corp. has reacquired the rights to the Pro-Keds brand from financially struggling hip-hop mogul Damon Dash. The change for the iconic, 60-year-old shoe comes a week after Dash, who once boasted that he never wears the same socks twice, reportedly may lose two of his properties to foreclosure. Lexington-based Stride Rite insisted Dash’s financial woes had nothing to do with the rebranding. “It was just a matter of timing,” Stride Rite spokeswoman Debra Fernandes said yesterday. “We just wanted a new direction.” Pro-Keds was launched in 1949 as a performance athletic shoe. By the 1970s, the round-toed sneaker was synonymous with some of the biggest names in professional sports – JoJo White and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar endorsed them. (Continue Reading…)

powerful moment Obama had tonight! I cried with pride and happiness. Such an amazing moment to see the Obama’s walk down that stage. Wonderful, simply beautiful!
I am inspired and I can now look at my son and with certainty tell him that you can be anything you want even president. And you can bring home a good women like Michelle Obama! LOL
I cried, for those that have left us and left us with a broken past, that they fought for us to have the ability to be able to sit down and have a descent meal, use of bathrooms, water fountains, to walk down the street with our heads held high, good schools, good jobs. The ones that have gone home before us I know with certainty are dancing in the streets of paved Gold in Heaven!!! shouting Halleluiah, Halleluiah and I shout with them!
