Dear Editor,

The ascension of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency of the United States of America now means that any properly qualified American can become president of that nation − and I stress, any, and I stress, qualified, including the American-born children of Guyanese migrants, for they now live in a country that has started to live out the true meaning of its creed, “All men are created equal…”  a nation where their children will be “judged by the content of their character, not by the colour of their skin.” May that positive change in attitude sweep the world, even down to a little nation perched on the north-eastern shoulder of South America, Guyana.

Yours faithfully,
M. Xiu Quan-Balgobind-Hackett
