How far we've come

As I was watching the election coverage Tuesday night, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The coverage showed Jesse Jackson with tears running down his face. Those tears told a story of our nation's history. This man grew up with segregation, lived through and was a part of the civil rights movement, and now, has seen a black man become president. How far we've come!

In today's world of uncertainty, it comforts me to know that our nation is a free place where any child's dream can come true.
