Obama: The Dream, The Journey, The Prize

For the first time in American history a major political party has officially nominated a minority candidate for president. 45 years ago Martin Luther King Jr. said "1963 is not an end, but a beginning" in his I Have a Dream speech. What does the Obama nomination say about how far have we come as a nation? On The Sound of Ideas® we'll review Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the convention, and hear what it means to you. We’ll also be on stand-by for an announcement on John McCain’s running mate – we start at 9am on 90.3.
