The Election November 5, 2008

I didn’t realize that I would get so emotional, but I cried.  I cried watching other people cry, and I cried through both McCain’s and Obama’s speeches.  Regardless of politics, we watched our country change last night.  What had always been a hope and a dream, became something that we have seen.  We are privileged to be a part of this historic moment.  I must admit that I am sorely ashamed of our country from time to time, but last night I was proud.  Proud of the steps that we are taking as a people.  Maya Angelou stated that we have decided not to identify ourselves as ignorant anymore.  We’re watching our God pull apart the chains of racism that have been strangling our country.  We are different now.
