Barak Obama Friday:
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama told thousands of cheering supporters Friday night that seeing such a racially diverse crowd in the shadow of the South Carolina statehouse would have surprised people a generation ago.
“Twenty years ago, nobody would have believed this crowd in South Carolina,” he said of the racially mixed group.
Twenty years ago… Jesse Jackson won the South Carolina democratic primary … along with 10 other states.
Barak then proceeded to give a history lessen to the crowd.
