I'm glad you too can appreciate this historic moment, when a minority raised by a single mom studied hard, earned a top position at Harvard law school, served his community and rose meteorically to the highest office in the land!I never thought that I would be privileged to help elect a black person to be our President in my lifetime. I am eternally grateful for President-Elect Obama's history and I celebrate it!
