<p>On August 28, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous &#8220;I Have A Dream&#8221; speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in our nation&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>Nearly 46 years after that historic day, another historic event will take place in that same city, not far from those very steps of the Lincoln Memorial.</p>
<p>Tomorrow morning the first Black man will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.</p>
<p>While things are not perfect and there is still an unacceptable amount of racism in this country, from both Whites and Blacks, you cannot listen to King&#8217;s words without feeling a sense of pride for how far we have come, as a whole.</p>

<p>Some have said that tomorrow, with Barack Obama&#8217;s inauguration, is a day for Blacks. I say to hell with that: Tomorrow is a day for us all! Regardless of where you stand politically, put those opinions and emotions on the shelf for this one day and revel in this amazing milestone!</p>
<p>For the entire schedule of the days inaugural events, and for live coverage of the swearing in ceremony, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2009/44.president/inauguration/" target="_blank">head over to CNN</a>.</p>
