A Day Marked in History

Whether you voted for Barack Obama or not, you have to at least recognize the importance of this day in history. A day that will be written in the history books as a significant marker in our nation's life. Only in this great country of ours, could this day happen. All around the world there are segments of each culture that are struggling for recognition, for a rightful place of appreciation and respect in their land. For the Arab world, it is the oppressed women. In China, females are not valued (as evidenced by the orphanages full of baby girls that no one wants.) In America, people with disabilities fight for accessibility and services. While today's events do not indicate that we have "arrived", it marks the beginning of tolerance and respect. Today, my black children at school see what they "can" be. What a gift today is for the generation of school children. My children at school hold their heads up a little higher. I am so glad I was alive to see this day happen. God Bless America and May His Light Guide Our New President.
