As a life-long Chicagoan, I’m proud to say that our nation’s very 1st black president is from Chicago.  Moreover, as an attorney who has represented one of President-Elect Obama’s former employers, Chicago’s own Developing Communities Project, I’m especially excited about his election (see my client testimonials page for further information about this relationship).  And, as board president for Youth Communication Chicago, publisher of teen newspaper New Expression, it’s great to see that someone named “Geoff” published a collage of 700 newspaper front-pages from all over the world all announcing President-Elect Obama’s victory.  For those who thought that it was really important to get a hard copy newspaper edition as a keepsake, you might want to check this out:  http://obama2008.s3.amazonaws.com/headlines.html.  If you click on an individual front-page, you’ll see an enlarged version of it.  It’s really amazing and helps to depict the magnitude of Barack Obama’s and our nation’s achievement.  Also, it won’t yellow over time.

P.S.: In response to reader Ben Woods’ comment, I’ve posted his excellent collage here in my 11/23/08 post.
