"When you grow up in the South picking cotton, bowed before a colored fountain to get water... go to the back of a restaurant to buy food -- it represents that the hopes of my fathers and the dreams of Martin have come to a place where they are meeting. It's joyful. I never thought I would see it."
-- Rev. Dr. Floyd Flake, on the significance of Sen. Barack Obama’s nomination
