"Obama was elected in a flourish of promise……" — Douglas Wilder

"Obama was elected in a flourish of promise that many in the African-American community believed would help not only to symbolize African-American progress since the Civil War and Civil Rights Acts but that his presidency would result in doors opening in the halls of power as had never been seen before by black America."

— Douglas Wilder
