times they are a changin'

I never thought that I would live long enough to see this day. I am sitting in my family room watching the first African American person accept the democratic nomination on the eve of the great Dr. King's speech. I am overcome with emotion in the moment. I feel as though the family tree for every African American family has just changed. Now, I feel like little boys and girls will look at this senator from Illinois and say, "Mom, I want to be the President when I grow up." We made history tonight. History.
