I'm so glad. Ladytex, I was reading what you wrote about the water fountain in the election thread and I cannot even imagine. It makes me so sad. I'm so glad that things have changed for the better.

A truly great moment that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. I find it wonderful myself but I can only imagine how special this is for you.

There's been so many amazing things written in this thread, but that, Lady, is probably the best.

Mocha, your 6:56 am post just made me cry all over again. I may not be a sistah, but I am so very proud of this man and what he has accomplished. And what our future holds. Dang, the future's so bright, I really do gotta wear shades! :-)

Snippets from an article...

"This vote is the answer to the prayers of slaves who died on the middle passage," said Bethel AME's pastor, the Rev. Frank M. Reid III. "It's about a new era in our struggle. ... We need to take responsibility for our future."

<snip>

"It's not about the fact that he's black. When you feel the spirit of God working through people, it's different than a man working on his own. I could see that spirit. It was not just a matter of black and white."

Still I Rise


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

A little bit of MLK's dream come true.

It's a start.
