"Heard at last, heard at last, thank god almighty, we were heard at last."

I don't know what else to call it but the most momentous event in the history of our nation. We asked for change, and change we were granted. Obama set a clear path towards the White House, and didn't stagger once. He was doubted and trampled on by the press, but he persevered. There were so many of us that knew our vote would count. We didn't back down from this challenge, we blogged, we talked and we urged people to listen. And they did.

The new first family is beautiful. They add to the change that will be forever cemented in America's history. Today I am proud to be a woman of color and I am proud to be an American.
