THE AFRO – Among the things Mrs. Obama said in her landmark speech were, “Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter, or like you don’t have a place in our American story.” Mrs. Obama went on, “It is our fundamental belief in the power of hope that has allowed us to rise above the voices of doubt and division, of anger and fear.” “If we work hard enough and believe in ourselves, we can be whatever we dream, regardless of the limitations that others may place on us.”
