11th Annual Kateri Peace Conference - 2009

On election night  in 2008, people all across the world were joyful and celebrated  both the election of our first African-American President and the coming end of George W. Bush’s failed presidency. With the election of President Obama, America clearly voted for change. The  issue of race was also brought to center stage predominantly in a positive way. Many of us  began to smile again with renewed hope and it seemed as if a soft and gentle spring breeze moved across the land.
