It felt amazingly like a new dawn when I woke this morning. I stayed up late watching the results, and Indiana's still weren't in when I finally stopped crying from happiness, turned off CNN and went to bed. I felt ecstatic for black America.
A Republican friend of mine said that he hates handouts, that people should "just work hard" and everything would be ok in their life. It astounds me how some people still don't get it. My own grandfather, with a mere high school education, made a fortune in his lifetime, but this is a new lifetime, very difficult to pull that off anymore.
So if you hate handouts, social services and "freebies," don't ever call the police or fire department, 911. Those are services too.
I cannot wait to step foot on Harvard Yard next week. I want to stand where Obama studied so hard.
