I believe in the heart of every American there's the desire to belong to a great country. Look at our souls, look at our hearts. We have elected a black man to talk for us, to speak for us. We, blacks, whites, Asians, Spanish-speaking, Native Americans, we have done it. Fat, thin, pretty, plain, gay, straight. We have done it! My Lord - I am an American, baby!
--Maya Angelou
