Those are indeed awesome moments in Black history. Can you imagine the time is coming soon when the US will get its first Black female President! I hear from an 'inside' source that it's going to happen. Please keep President Obama in your prayers as the year 2010 approaches. Thanks for the blog Brother Gaddy.

Thanks Gaddy. It is too bad that Ms Braun fell into all of those traps they had out for her. But, with each step those like her makes it is much better and less hard for those of us to follow in her GIaNT foot steps.(smile)

Jen, and if it turns out to be another Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
