Friday night ode to The Freedom Highway
After the historic event that transpired this week what else could it be but a tribute to the struggle that culminated in the prize Mr. Obama won on Tuesday.
Enjoy the weekend. Here is to our belief of hope in our future.
Good choice for a tribute, the visuals sure make me realize how much the world has (so far) changed in my lifetime.
I spoke with my 98 year old grandmother last night about President-Elect Obama. Her take on it was - "I suppose it's a good idea"
This from a woman who was wooed over to Canada from eastern Europe by a sweet letter writing suitor (my late grandfather) who wrote "Life in good in Canada, woman only have to work in the fields about 8 hours a day and the rest of the time they can spend working in the gardens and around the house"

Thanks Sassy.
ReplyDeleteIt is heartening to think, that when looked at over a longer period of time, society tends to progress forward.
It is our job to help keep it moving in that direction.
