Barack Obama Convocation

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the convocation, due to tickets being sold out. My friend was able to go, and told me all about it. Presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke on many different issues. He spoke on the Jena 6 and Katrina aftermath; saying that both of these unfortunate events shows that their is still racism, and that we have much to do in order to eliminate it. Mr. Obama also spoke on the criminal justice system, and how if he is elected, everyone will be given equal treatment with no regard to race,social standing, or economic background. He also spoke on the need for civil rights lawyers in the Supreme Court. Obama spoke on education, and creating a better America. I feel Obama knows what direction this country needs to go in. If he were to become president, he would make life better for many Americans, and turn this country around, and lead it in a better direction than our current president. Unfortunately, I feel the majority of America is not ready for a black president, and we are years away from being ready. I personally think it is time for a black man to take office. Barack Obama has my vote!
