What mine eyes have seen

Obama is the 44th president-elect,and if you don't know you are probably living in a cave chillin bin laden.It is all over the news me and my couldn't be more proud.

Let me give you a visual of my election night was.We watching cnn and they were saying barack obama just won another state.My mom ,my sister, and me did not want to get to excited until the end but we were all on the edge of our sits.Then it flashed on the screen breaking news....BARACK OBAMA IS THE 44TH PRESIDENT-ELECT.What!? ,we all screamed in unison.More whooting, hollering,running,and jumping followed.Til I realized what the heck just happened.I kept asking my how could our America make this happen.How could an America that treated dogs better than black people,vote for the first black president.As the tears came,pictures of Emitt Teal's beaten face,andthe hoses being sprayed on birmingham demonstrators flashed through my brain.Also the other image that will foever be imprinted in my mind is our elected president Barack Obama giving his victory speech as my mother,my sister,and all the people in that chicago park watched on with their eyes full of pride.
It was then I found the answer to my question.
Our America changed that election night and will forever be changed
We did it but as always we have a long way to go
