Priceless

I wish my grandmother could've lived long enough to see an African American man elected as the president of the United States. I've never been ashamed of my race but there was a since of inferiority that I didn't realized existed until I heard the words Barack Obama is our 44th president of the United States. This is the same country that enslaved us and over time convinced people like myself that they were better than us. On nov 4th that whole idea of whites being better went right out the window. I now feel a since of pride. Our victory is that of champions. We had to fight for just about everything (the right to an education, the right to vote, the right to eat where the white people ate, the right to sit wherever we wanted on the bus).We are conquerors we were brought here as slaves and now we hold the highest office in the US. Now my boys see that you can be whatever you want and that there are no limits to how far you can go in this life. I've never been more excited in my life because my family got a chance to be part of history.
