Free at last

This afternoon on CNN someone said something about waiting 21 months for the election results. I said, "Try eight years."

Really I've been waiting for this night all my life. I was born the year these men died.

I don't think the work of the Civil Rights Movement is finished. But am I ever glad I got to see this day. And that my almost-83-year-old dad got to see it, too.
