Rosa Parks sat. Parks sat so Martin Luther King Jr. could walk. King walked so Barack Obama could run. Obama ran so our children can fly.

I’m having trouble finding who came up with this quote… and I know it’s been around for a while. None the less, it makes me proud to know that while the Civil Rights is not my direct history, it is part of the country’s. So in a sense, it is a part of my history. I hope that some day everyone will have equal rights, because I truly believe that we all deserve that. It’s a good time to be an American… but we can make this country better. And I believe our new president will lead the way. |
