Candy Williams stood in the back of the Ashland Armory, her hands against her red-white-and-blue sweater and wept as Obama talked about moving America forward.
"This is the first time in a long time I've broken out this sweater," says Williams, of Ashland. "For me, this is the first time in a long time that I feel like I'm proud to be an American."
Yes, she says, Obama seemed to talk right from the Chicago stage to her here in Ashland.
"I think everybody feels that," Williams says. "Just look at the faces of everybody in the crowd.
"This is history," Williams says.
She dabbed away another tear.
"The last one who did anything for me was Kennedy," she says.

"He was really something special," she says.
