This event is important and historical because not once in our life time
could one imagine that the USA would elect a black president.

I consider myself fortunate to witness that event took place in my lifetime for two main reasons:First and foremost, the son of an African(his biological father is from Kenya) being elected as the president of the most powerful nation on earth.The second reason as an African myself it makes me prouder than ever ,and this would show the young Africans diaspora that nothing is beyond their reaches if they work hard ,play by the rules and get a better education.
If we look at the post about segration below this one, we have to laugh. They would go to school with a Negro but our country is ran by one… Funny how the world turns… I’m glad I was alive to witness this miracle.
