Whatever the outcome of Tuesday's balloting for President of the United States, we are witnessing history ... which also happens to be the title of this special feature on msnbc.com, where three generations of black Americans discuss the impact of Senator Barack Obama's bid for the White House.Readers are also asked to share their thoughts on what it means to them or the country that an African-American is a serious candidate for the presidency. There are also a number of articles about race and the impact it will - or will not - have on "the upcoming."
Earlier this year, during the height of the primary season, I was in Thailand - a very westward-looking nation, and a longtime ally of the United States. Inevitably, presidential campaigns in the U.S. would come up in discussion. Those that seemed to attract the most attention were the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama - both of which, it was suggested, could have historic implications for America.
