I Remember Where I Was When… Huge Moments In Pop Culture
- By

…President Obama was elected.
There’s a portion in the new movie, The Butler, where they show the announcement that Barack Obama was the President-Elect of the United States. I’ve seen the movie twice and every time, I cry. That moment was so beautiful. For black people in America, and perhaps even worldwide, it meant so much. It meant that America was ready to at least begin letting go of the prejudice, discrimination and racism. It meant that barriers were falling. And it validated, once again, or for the first time that black people can do anything.
