President Obama has won the election and history has been created. There is no limit to the feelings some have about this moment, and I have trouble describing my feelings as well.
I have always respected President Obama, though I differ with his views for America. But that is the essence of America. People having different views and yet working together for a greater good.
I know some are elated right now. And they should be. As one person mentioned to me
“You all don't know what it really means. You grew up in a time that you could sit where ever you want on a bus or train. Could eat at any restaurant you want. And not have to enter restaurants, stores, movies buildings through the back door only. Or drink from a water fountain, or use a toilet marked "Colored Only".
My heart is heavy, I can hardly breathe. Now a person of color Can say to their child that they can grow up to be the president and mean it!!”
So tonight is a night of jubilation. Enjoy it.
But tomorrow I hope for us all to work together in supporting our President, remembering the promises made to the public, and making America better.
