A Day in History


Today we watched Barack Obama sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America, the first Black person in this position. The Inauguration was positive and cheered by many around the world. His speech was realistic and positive, with plans to remake America by using hard work and good old fashioned values. He challenged everyone to take responsibility for themselves and their country. It was interesting to think that less than 60 years ago, a black person couldn't be served in a restaurant in some parts of the States and today this family moved in the White House, which was built by slaves.
