Obama NAACP speech “a dream come true”
Nobody has to hype the historical historic significance of Sen. Barack Obama’s speech on Monday, July 14, in Cincinnati at the 99th convention of the NAACP.
Obama, the first black presidential candidate form a major party, is set to address the nation’s oldest civil rights organization at 8 p.m.
“It’s a dream come true,” said state Rep. Tyrone Yates, D-Cincinnati, chairman of the host committee for the convention.
Yates, 54, said many middle-aged and older convention goers never imagined they would live to see a candidacy like Obama’s.
The mood at the convention, Yates said, is “virtually emotionally incalculable.”
