Black first family 'changes everything'

* New first family offers fresh way to look at black family, some say
* Barack and Michelle Obama's chemistry inspires black women
* Black family might no longer be defined by its pathologies or humor

And the part I like!!!

Barbara McKinzie, international president of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, says she grew up in a small town in Oklahoma surrounded by black couples and an extended family of teachers and neighbors, who were knit together like the new first family.

She didn't need to look at the Inauguration Day festivities to see a vibrant black family.
