This afternoon, I made the trek down to the arch grounds here in St. Louis to be a part of the rally for Barack Obama. During my speed-walking session from 11 blocks away, I marveled at just how many people there were! I thought to myself, "I've never seen so many people here in my life." Little did I know, I was part of a record-breaking crowd of over 100,000 people to attend the rally (the largest Barack Obama rally in U.S. history). The crowd was also the largest to assemble in St. Louis since the 1904 World's Fair.
We were all there to listen to Obama and show our support for his campaign. It was inspiring, uplifting, and yes, even made me cry. I was so moved by the crowd - so many people of every age, every color, and every background all there to rally together for change. It was amazing - truly powerful! Everyone was so peaceful, cheerful, and friendly. The crowd was electric!
