I already know that I am going to have to expand on my thoughts here, but I had to say something about Michelle Obama's speech. As I noted early on, it was Michelle Obama who got me to look at her husband more closely. I was riveted then, and I remain just as excited now.
I can barely describe how moving it was listening to her speech (via C-Span radio). I can only imagine that someone like Fannie Lou Hamer, who fought for her place as a part of the Mississippi delegation to the Democratic National convention 44 years ago, is rejoicing in heaven as she watched Michelle Obama show the world the humanity and American-ness of black people.
