My Thoughts of Today... History & Future

Freedom is never given; it is won.
-- A. Philip Randolph
Oh how good it feels right now to be a Black living in America. This has been such a long time coming for us. I know there are going to be challenges and we are going to face some uncertainty. I do know we have finally saw some change since the days of old. I never thought in a million years that America would even let a man with few drops of black blood into the White House. This is just all to surreal to me at this point.

The past is a ghost, the future a dream. All we ever have is now. -- Bill Cosby



Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.
-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today we are celebrating Martin Luther King Jr, life and legacy. I think he is looking down on us and saying, Freedom at last. The long hard road that he had to travel to get us here. It took long enough, but it became a reality to us all last year. Don't get me wrong we are going to still have some injustices. I just know that now some are seeing us as People/Humans.

So our History brought us today.. I thank all those before me that paved the way to make our life just a tad bit better. The old saying goes, you never know where you are going until you know where you have been.. My theme of this year is progress.. We are definitely getting there...
