Obama's platform for change resonates with many young activists and has generated a lot of excitement. Former Real World cast member and "hip-hop historian" Kevin Powell caught the political bug during this momentous time.
Powell sought to paint the congressman as an outdated, out-of-touch representative whom voters should retire after 13 terms. He also sought to position himself as part of a new generation of political activists, seizing on the excitement generated by Barack Obama's historic presidential bid.
I hope Powell continues to push ahead in politics, brining his momentum to local or state political arenas where NYC could use his fresh ideas and community roots. And so I pray...
