Tonght, November 4, 2008. History was made. Barak Obama was elected President of the United States of America. I sit in my house, in Atlanta, Georgia and think about how much has changed in the history of this country. I think about how in my family, people that I would not have expected voted for Obama, not because he was or was not black, but because he is everything this country is so in need of right now.
And I know that there are many people out there who still don't believe in what is happening in this country. I am very happy to not be in Memphis right now,because I don't know what I would say to many people that I love. I hope that one day, hopefully soon, they will understand that sometimes it isn't about skin color, it's about the person underneath, and the hope that they represent for change and prosperity. That life isn't about color, or religion, its about what is inside and what one believes is right and wrong in this country.
And I believe that tonight, November 4, 2008, is the step in that direction for the United States. I hope that things start to go up, because we can't go anywhere else but up. So here's to 2008, Barak Obama, and change.
