<DIV>Dear friends,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The buzz all day has been about the incredible and historic election of Barack Obama as our next president here in the USA. On the radio, in the papers, with neighbors and family, people are expressing their disbelief, their unbridled excitement about this transformational election. For people of color, particularly African Americans, Obama's victory is as one put it, an act of divinity. New Yorkers were elated and rejoicing in spontaneous celebrations in the streets, thrilled to be transforming our country through the act of electing a Black person to the highest office in the land. His election ushers in not only an era of hope and change, but one of healing, understanding and tolerance about our differences as well as our sameness. It brings us closer to dealing with racism and xenophobia in our country and the world. It's an astonishing occurrence, difficult to capture in one message. Some of you have
attempted to capture the significance of the moment as well, and thank you for the messages of congratulations but I think the congratulations are for all of us. In an interdependent world, the message of hope and change will resonate around the globe. The ripples of this big splash will spread across oceans reaching all corners of the world. We can all rejoice in the goodness of this election.</DIV>

<DIV>Here are a couple of articles about the international reaction:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>There's also rejoicing in the win of many Democrats across the country. Democrats have the majority in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Three new female candidates were elected to the US Senate and two female governors were elected, as well. </DIV>
