Requiem for a Dream 2008

As we stand at a very pivotal point in American history, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on the legacy and significance of the upcoming 45th anniversary of the March on Washington, particularly as it relates to the 2008 Democratic bid for the presidential nomination. The intent of this video is to highlight the historical importance of Barack Obama at this point in time, not to endorse him over the other candidates, Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Be careful not to vote because Barack Obama is black or because Hillary Clinton is a woman, or because Mike Huckabee is an evangelical. Listen to their politics and weigh them against the truth of God's Word, the only standard whose foundation is firm. Remember, it will not be programs or presidents, politics or passionate hope that will bring about real change in our country. However, real change comes first through faith, prayer, and a genuinely, Spirit-filled relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and Friend. He is our Hope. God bless.

Additionally, the video highlights the chronology of freedom, justice, and equality for black people in America with the emphasis that there is "still more work to do" for all people.
