The words of CNN's Anderson Cooper, reporting from Washington, D.C., last night drove home the historical magnitude of this day for me when he reported that slaves helped build the White House.
Today, that house becomes President Barack Obama's new digs, and we usher in a brand new era of hope and renewal for our wounded country, and its weary citizens.
Today, we celebrate! The hard work of realizing needed change begins tomorrow with the dedicated actions and ownership of each one of us.
Making history is no small feat.
