VOTE in The Name of VICTORY!

HOPE. CHANGE. PROGRESS. OBAMA

written by XEM VanAdams-Lumumba

It's one thing to sit in an elementary school classroom, learning about American History. It's one thing to lay in a college dorm room studying it between the edited lines of a text. It's often times frustrating trying to understand it all; maintaining Dates, Facts and Circumstances to pass high school assessment exams.

Its another to actually LIVE and EXPERIENCE American History Unfold.

Its the Frame of our modern day existence and an Illustration of Societal accord.

What a Wonderful and Fulfilling, Once-In-A-LifeTime experience that our children have, to be able to watch a Black Man, Senator Barack Obama, stand on the eve of being elected as the 44th President of The United States of America. His prophecy has been guided in the direction of molding an entire generation of Naysayers, Quitters and those who have lost their Hope. Through Trial, Tribulation and Triumph, Barack Obama has already reshaped the outlook of Promise; one that for so long, had appeared so Dark and Dim upon the Horizons. He is a man who has taken on the stance of our contemporary savior; a political blend of social stature, cross-cultured influence and economic ease. He is a Leader of great Spirit, and for this experience, we are ALL, undoubtedly Grateful.

Today's Election is Historical in that for the FIRST time in the HISTORY of My GENERATION, a sense of Unity above Divide, has been restored in the Faith that people are carrying on their shoulders; Young and Old alike. I give praise to God for allowing me to see this day, alongside the presense of My Grandmothers, My Brother and Sister, My Parents, Aunts & Uncles, Lifelong Friends, God-Family and extended circle.

May we ALL, through Life and Limb, hold a Torch to Truth; receiving our Daily Breads of Fulfillment and Forward Movement. I shed tears in the knowledge and know-how of a GOD who is the only Spirit, in all of his Glory, responsible for this Day.
