Rosa sat, so Martin could walk....
Martin walked, so Obama could run...
Obama runs, so our Children can Fly.
The day Chelsea learned in elementary school, the story about Rosa Parks and the bus, she came home terribly upset. She said, "Mommy, please tell me we didn't really treat people of another color like that, did we Mommy?" She could not even grasp that there was such a thing as segregation and racism. I remember she began to cry when I told her that was true and why it had happened.
Now, today, my child can fly and now I am the one to cry.
