Obama's Inauguration speech

When i was watching Obamas Inaugural address the part of his speech that stood out to me the most was
"This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."
This was the most meaningful part of his speech to me because it shows how much he and the whole United Sates of America have achieved. Until recently white and black people were not considered equal to each other, and the two races were completely segregated. Half a century ago the idea of a black or biracial president was unthinkable, but despite Americas racist past, Obama became our president. I think that Obama being elected as president is a great achievement not just for African Americans but for all of America because it shows how much we have grown as a society. Obama's words relate to me and my everyday life because he talks about going through hardships and obstacles and finding ways to overcome them. Although Obama was talking about different things, i can relate to him because i am always facing challenges in my life.
