Change Is Here

I have witnessed many things in my life time. At 4 years of age in 1957 in Chicago Illinois, I witnessed my father being told that he had to sit in the back of the bus, but because I was white looking the bus driver told my father that I could sit in the front. Even then I had the good sense to grab my father's hand and say, "Daddy, I want to sit with you."

At the age of 12, I remember watching TV at a peaceful civil rights march led by Martin Luther king in Chicago South Side in the 1960's. I watched in horror as white men, their wives, and their children were throwing bottles and bricks at the peaceful marchers as the Police stood on the side lines and did nothing. And as the civil rights marchers were being hit by the bottles and bricks thrown at them, I witness the blood as the marchers fell.

One news reporter captured a Chicago police officer saying, "We don't want their kind here."

Yes, I have witness many things in my day. But I never thought I would ever witness a Black man elected President in my life time. God Bless the United States of America. God Bless Barack Obama. God Bless the Obama family. And God Bless the Biden family.
