No matter who you supported in the election your heart has to be made of stone to not feel the emotion behind this election. From what I understand African Americans were given the "right" in the late 1800's to vote but most did not take part until 1965. We have finally evolved into a nation that is looking past race and gender. It took us nearly 219 years for us to have an African American President (George Washington became President in 1789) as well as a strong contender for a woman as the Vice President. That absolutely amazes me and has been giving me chills all day. Each time I watch the photos they have of this election and after Obama's speech I am simply honored to be a part of this time. This is a time that is going to go down in history books and we are first hand witnesses. It makes me so excited for the future, for us and our children.

We have come so far. It is so true. We have proven to our people and to the rest of the world that we are NOT prejudice and welcome a new President based on his credentials and intellect vs. the color of his skin.
