This image personalizes the historical and social meaning of the event - through a single hopeful face in a multi-racial crowd. |



Further comments

| Being white and Jewish, I feel privileged to have witnessed Obama's election in America's most historical black neighborhood. The photo is a very personal and meaningful souvenir from this special night. |
