Election Day

It's November 4, 2008. I am dressed about to walk to the polls with my son. I know there are many people who probably can't understand exactly what it feels like to be a black man voting for Barack Obama. I can't even put it into words. This is the culmination of things soooooo long in coming. And to be a part of history....you can see all the videos, read all the newspaper accounts, but you can't put into words exactly what it feels like to go to the voting booth today. I will be soo glad to see how my son will have a viewpoint where he has seen someone who looks like him holding the Presidency. I don't have much more to say. This is just.....a deep moment for me.
