Yes We Can!

I watched a documentary about Bayard Rustin the other day. I teared up as I watched the determination of Black Americans to fight to be treated as humans, as equals. They walked a year in Mississippi, endured lynchings, beatings, hoses and dogs and they gathered on the mall in Washington to be heard and to be counted.

The ability of Obama to stand strong and dignified...in the face of naysayers and race baiters is a testament to the ability of Black Americans to not only survive but to thrive....Yes We Can! No Excuses.
