I don't even know where to begin......


My emotions have been everywhere today,  and now, watching John Lewis speak,  I am brought to tears once again as I was two weeks ago when I voted.  I have no right to cry. It wasn't my fight and I did not have to bear the brunt of all the hate. I stood up when I needed to and I treasure the people I know who also have done so.  I think of what it must have been like to be black in this world and I've seen so much of the way it has been here, especially in the south for the last 39 years. I am so relieved for what this world may now become.
