A Great Day

A few moments ago, I watched a news report about a 99 year old Black Woman who was going to vote. It was a momentous day for her because not too very long ago, if she were going to vote, they would possibly shoot her for trying. Today, not only is she able to cast her vote, but she is also able to vote for a Black Man for President! It brought tears to my eyes. No matter what your political beliefs are, when you think about the fact that forty or so years ago, black people were not permitted to vote in this country and now a black man could potentially be our next President.... Well, it is awe-inspiring to say the least. It seems as though this was a long time coming and I am proud that the day is here, no matter who wins.
