To me it means this a time that has been along time coming. Its a great time to be alive to witness such a historical event. I think about all the stories my grandmother use to tell me about the struggles of being black in America. Now we can be proud of the changes and the sacrifices that have been made for such an event to happen in our lifetime. Our parents always told of stories about their past. Like my father who told a story of being aboard a Navy ship when it was destroyed by the Japanese and survived, my mother told a story of the days they only had one pair of shoes just to wear to school to walk to school in that was 10 miles away. Now i can tell the story to my grand-kids that i was there the day our country came together and sat aside there differences to elect the first black president of The Untied States of America.
