What a day - January 20Th, 2009! I have been to many marches and demonstrations in DC but never one of so many gathering at one time, in one place, and with one purpose. The happiness which brought us together could not be daunted by the difficulty in getting around DC or the cold weather. The cheering of millions as Obama was sworn into office was heart warming.
It was a joyous day. We met many people from across the nation who traveled thousands of miles to be a part of history. There was a sense of pride not only among Black Americans but exhibited by each and everyone present. We did it! We can be a better America.
One of the highlights was seeing Bush being whisked off to Texas. He was abusive for eight years but he can no longer hurt us. we have scars to from his time in the White House but there is now hope and we will overcome the wounds he inflicted. It is going to take a long time to get over the damage he and his administration caused.
