Forty-five years after the Rev. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech, many Americans feel that dream has been realized with the election of Barack Obama as 44th president of the United States. The producers of the American News Project take a cinematic look back on this election season as we trace Obama's footsteps in Colorado, Alabama, California, Virginia, Illinois and Washington D.C. As we look back, Obama reminds the nation to look forward to the challenges ahead.

Indian Country Today

NCAI passes record number of resolutions
Seventy-two motions address recognition, litigation, health care, other issues

ICT: Do you think there’s a resurgence of Native power happening?

Garcia: I sense that. I’m a pusher of that, of change and initiative, but it isn’t happening with just one person. It’s all the delegates, all the camaraderie and the teamwork that we have. I think it’s our job to continue to promote that and not just talk about it, but actually do it, and we’ve been doing it. The results are obvious. It’s happening and I’m feeling really good. We’re ready to meet the challenges with the new administrations and we’re going to go for it.

Obama lovers, Democrats and the Gays

California is another example of what I have consistently explained, not all traditionally disenfranchised groups care about Gays and Lesbians. And as groups, Blacks, Latinos and some Democrats and Obama lovers cast their votes of hatred against us. I make it quite clear to anyone that wants to be close to me as a friend, if you do not support my having Full Equal Rights you are not my friend. The groups above are not that to me.

As a relative from the Philippines just told me about our first (possibly?) non-"natural born" president elect, his persona reminds her of the snake in the grass dictator Marcos' personality. Of course there is the exception that Marcos left the Gays and Lesbians alone while the restored democracy under Aquino started to oppress Gays by closing bars.
