CONGRATULATIONS BARACK!

It was a long hard struggle, like everything worthwhile that we humans do, but you prevailed. If you can, relax for a while, then prepare for the next phase of the journey.

I am so proud of you. There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. This is your time; our time, this country's time. Together, working as a unit, we will make the changes to move us all to higher ground. We've wallowed in the mud too long.

I have witnessed the coming and going of W.E.B. DuBois, John & Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, Ella Baker, Martin Luther King Jr., and Fannie Lou Hamer. And now I will witness the first person of African descent become president of the United States. Something I never expected to see in my lifetime. I am happy to have volunteered and contributed to your campaign, to be a part of this historic occasion.
