HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE !

I have never had the feeling I had at 8:00 PM Pacific time Tuesday November 4, 2008 ever in my life. That feeling of
pride in that I was a Black American. A feeling of relief in that I was a Black American. A feeling of power, in that I was
a Black American. I cried, I laughed, I sang, I danced. I spoke to my now deceased parents, I spoke to Dr. Martin
Luther King. I emailed my friends, I emailed my volunteers.
It was a wonderful feeling to see someone who looked just like my sons, my dad, my brothers about to call himself the
President of the United States of America. I wrote to a friend of mine, “.my son and I made history as he voted for his
first time and then to see a Black man being elected. My grandson will know nothing else, my parents did not live to
see it but I'm certain their souls are rejoicing.”
We all were rejoicing. It was so refreshing to see Blacks and Whites together rejoicing and to hear John Mc Cain
congratulate us as well. All of America knows that this is significant to Black America as well it should be. We are
due, this is our due. Too many of us have lived and died, been killed and have been deprived for the benefit of
others. Black Americans, descendants of Africans gave lives, family and dignity to make this country prosperous and
great. We should very well prosper in the fruits of its labor just like any other man.
Our new President started his career in service to others. He has promised to seek out and help those organizations
who also extend their hand of help to those in need. Rest assured the Association of African American Single
Mothers will do all it can to make him hold fast to his promise. However, let us all do our part to support his efforts
throughout our country. May God bless America and may God protect and bless our new President!
