Next week, here in the United States of America, we are voting for our President. As the candidates are rushing to the finish line, it is time to remember what happened 8 years ago. It was a historic moment and AfroAmerica Network made a statement about the enthusiasm, the expectations, the hopes, and the anticipation. We wrote the article below in September 2004, on the rise of a man, then Congressman Barack Obama.
