In January 2008, at the beginning of the primary election season, Sen. Barack Obama addressed the congregation at Ebenezer Baptist Church on the Martin Luther King holiday weekend. King was a pastor of Ebenezer 45 years ago today, when he delivered his "I have a dream" speech during the march on Washington, August 28, 1963. Tonight, 45 years later to the day, Sen. Obama formally accepts the nomination of the Democratic party for president -- the first African-American to be nominated by a major party.
