Freeman's Inauguration Picture

I picked this picture (the second photo directly under the word "Photos") for a few reasons. For one, it conveys a common idea people have about their children (or their children's children) growing up in a world with an African-American president, and it's meant to instill in them the notion that they really can be anything the want to be when they grow up.

I also picked this picture because it suggests that progress has been made, and there's a clean slate in Washington so to speak. "Bush Street" is changed to "Obama," and the clear blue resolution in the sky reinforces the angle of a new beginning.
