Imagine

[tvordlj]

There was a photo in the paper this morning of a 105 year old black woman voting in South Carolina, i think it was. And i thought... imagine what she's seen in her lifetime. In Obama's speech, which i've just read, he speaks about a 106 year old woman from Atlanta and what she's seen. Both women probably had grandparents that were slaves. Both women would not have been able to vote until their middle ages and even then, registering to vote in the late 50s and early 60s could have got them hurt in some states. I can't even imagine what those women must feel like today, the utter joy and jubilation, like someone who's just got their sight and the first thing they see is the face of their child or someone that's just got their hearing and wakes up to birds singing, or a symphony.
