Yes, We Can
“This morning, I was talking to a coworker of mine who has a 1 year old daughter who is biracial. She had tears in her eyes as she told me that she realized this morning her daughter will never know a world in which people doubt that a person like her can be elected President. As soon as she is old enough to understand our political makeup, the only world she will know is one where any person of any race can be elected to the highest office in this country. She will be just as unable to conceive of the previous prejudices as women like me are unable to fathom a time when we could not vote. Sure, she will learn about the history to this point from school and from her family, but the barriers will be old and gone by the time she gets to that class.”
Amen.
