I remember back/before Kennedy, King and Malcolm were assassinated
back when/journalist had an overall presentation of protocal around truth telling/I remember
many childhood evenings/sitting on the floor in the living room at my great aunt’s house in Memphis TN
as the adults gathered to witness and discuss the current affairs of the day/I remember
feeling that change was coming. Tonight is the first time since those days that I have felt such a sense possibility…
Daniel and I cried/shouted/fanned ourselves/rocked in our chairs
and had a moment of silence as
Obama not only won SC
but gave a speech was everything we know to be critical, true and relevant.
I’m sure that speech will be available for downloading soon
meanwhile
check Obama out at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia
(where he encouraged them to embrace the LGBT community/yep he said it in not only a Black church/but in Dr. King’s Church)
Carolyn Kennedy endorses Obama in the NY Times article titled, A President Like My Father

I sit here, again crying, watching this.
