Historic Triumph

Dear Editor:

On Nov. 4, 2008 we the people of the United States elected the first black President. This election was a historic triumph for our nation and this victory has everything to do with where we came from and the ideal that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a right for all men. I thank Martin Luther King and all civil rights leaders for the fight for freedom. Mr. Obama's home is in Chicago and it was President Lincoln who won the nomination at a convention on May, 1860 in Chicago. January 31, 1865 the abolishment of slavery from then to now was 133 years. We all have the responsibility to eliminate racism. Sixty one percent of all Obama votes were from white people. We are One Nation under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All. God is our Father, Christ is our Redeemer and Man is our Brother.

Nathan Peters, Jr.
