On Wednesday, I watched a historic moment unfold. Teary-eyed, I saw Mr. Obama deliver his acceptance speech. For the first time, I feel I can tell my children that they can be what they want to be. It was as if the doors to a life full of optimism and cheer were opened to the world.
I wonder if my grandparents felt the same way when Nehru made his tryst-with-destiny speech, and if the Americans felt this way when they heard the Gettysburg Address.
