"A milestone in U.S. history"

Understated, from Reuters :

The win by Obama, son of a black Kenyan father and white mother from Kansas, marked a milestone in U.S. history. It came 45 years after the height of the civil rights movement.

Obama will give his acceptance speech on August 28, 2008 -- 45 years to the day after the March on Washington and Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech.
