Proud To Be an American!
Yesterday I (along with the rest of the country) witnessed history as the American people elected our first African American President.
Last night was one of the happiest, most exciting, inspiring, touching, proudest moments of my life. I remember learning about the civil rights movement of the 50's and 60's as early as Elementary School. I remember my Dad telling me he was sure there would be a Black President someday, but probably not in our lifetime because, unfortunately, there is still quite a bit of racism out there.
This is not only a Victory for Barack Obama and Democrats, it is a victory for the African American community. It is another huge step forward in this amazing country, and another step closer to fulfilling the dream that was once had by Martin Luther King Jr.
My (our) generation has a huge opportunity to make a difference. Let's go for it!
