November 4, 2008 was an historical date not only in the African American community, but also in the United States and the world as we witnessed the breaking down of a wall that many thought would never be achieved in a lifetime, but was foretold in "The Dream" by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial 45 years ago. That dream has come to fruition to some extent in the historical nomination on Sen. Barack Obama as becoming the first African-American to be elected as President of the United States. As a tribute to this historic win, the song "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" by McFaddin and Whitehead and the collage of newspaper headlines from 2008 will tell this unique story.
