Personal Note on: MLK, Obama, and Oprah
I DVR’d Oprah’s show today.
Her series is programmed to be recorded if it’s new – so I didn’t go out of my way to record this particular show. (You can see excerpts at http://oprah.com)
What I didn’t realize is how united, inspired and hopeful the nation feels about Obama being elected. Especially on this day, Martin Luther King’s observed birthday.
You see, I’m a die hard Republican. I voted for McCain.
Born in an all white community. Raised in a 99% white community, and daughter of a KKK supporter from the south, who claimed to be a Democrat.
Fast forward to today.
Never have I heard a nation so ready to serve, until now. People from every walk of life are setting aside their hang-ups and aggressions to move forward, make life better, and serve one another.
Serve one another.
How beautiful. Anyone who can move a nation like this, is all right by me!
