November 4, 2008 - The Mood of a Nation
By: Regina Speights

November 4, 2008 - The Mood of a Nation is a wonderful compilation of writings by ordinary people with extraordinary recounts of one of the most historical times in American history, Presidential Election 2008. Like millions of people who anxiously gathered in 1963 to hear one of the most elegant and moving speeches of all times be given at the Lincoln Memorial, D.C. by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; thousands of onlookers awaited with the same anticipation on November 4, 2008 to hear “Mr. President Elect” Barack Obama give his Presidential Victory speech at Grant Park, Chicago Illinois. This book captures the mood of some of our countrymen and women of the days leading up to election day and days after. It is a mood captured by young and old, from different ethnic backgrounds, and political affiliations. Election day, November 4, 2008, is a time in history that will never be forgotten. This reflective and insightful collection of work is a piece of history that all can share and pass on to future generations.
