Barack Obama wrote a new chapter into US history on Tuesday becoming the first African-American elected president, capping a stunning rise which in just four years propelled him into the Oval Office.
In his acceptance speech to supporters in Chicago, Obama said that a new dawn of American leadership was at hand and stressed the shared destiny of the United States and the rest of the world.
"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," he said in front of a crowd of 65 000 people.
