Andy Thomas captures the moment - Obama accepts the nomination for President of the United States at the Democratic National Convention, Denver, Colorado August 27th, 2008, except the audience is made up of historical figures, see how many you can recognize.

   
"But, before that could happen, John Jay fought against slavery, Harriet Tubman led the helpless to freedom, Frederick Douglas influenced Abe Lincoln, FDR stood up for the forgotten, Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired us, JFK and LBJ took action, Thurgood Marshall argued his case, Rosa Parks stayed in her seat and  Medgar Evers and little girls in Birmingham died. Andrew Young, Edward Brooke, Douglas Wilder and Barbara Jordan joined the process, Jesse Jackson orated, my friend Dino stood his ground and many, many others did their best.

"There are plenty of heroes in this story." - Andy Thomas.
