Tonight is your answer. [ APPLAUSE ] It's the answer told by lines that stretch around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours. Many for the first time in their lives, because they believe that this time must be different. That their voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gays, straight, disabled, and not disabled. Americans who send a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America. [ APPLAUSE ] It's the answer that, that led those who'd been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful. And doubtful about what we could achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election ,. At this defining moment change has come to America. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Obama's Victory Speech","description":"The candidate speaks at Chicago's Grant Park Tuesday night after winning the election","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Sko5hiIx/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-03-06T20:27:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Sko5hiIx.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/Sko5hiIx/","duration":"PT2M11S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/Sko5hiIx/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
