History in the Making...
On this last day of the presidential primaries, the associated press, FOX News and a number of other news organizations have all declared Barack Obama the presumptive, Democratic nominee for President.
This is an historic day! It's the first time in our nation's history that a Black person has won the presidential nomination of any party. (I know Senator Obama still needs the official votes of delegates at the National convention to be declared the official nominee.)
As a teenager, I never imagined a black person, nor a woman becoming President of the United States. Today, as a grown woman, I am proud that our county has come this far. I'm proud that we could have a woman or a black person running for the next President of the United States.
For me, it's a great example to my three sons. It lets them know that someone who lookes like them, can become the President of the United States of America. It lets them know that they too can become President of the United States. I don't have daughters, but if I did, Hillary Clinton's success would also serve as an example that women can become President of the United States too.
I'm curious, what does this historic day mean to you?
