how far we've come by jtr · politics - 5 November 2008, 10:59

My children know I did not vote for Senator Obama. However, this morning I had a wonderful conversation with them about the election yesterday. I told them that when Senator Obama was a little boy, black folk could not use the same drinking fountains or public restrooms as white folk. They could not attend the same schools as white students or eat in the same restaurants. Next January, Senator Obama will become President of the United States.

How far we have come.

God bless America.
