HISTORY...PAUSE!!!!!

It's seems after we have went through 'Historic' times with a recession and one of (if not the worse) Presidencies ever, that we are amongst History once again...

As I sat in the break room at work I took my usual break time in which all of 'US' gather to eat. While I enjoyed lunch (Chicken Tortilla Soup) 'OUR' lunch gathering became extremely enjoyable as we watched CNN and the top stories showed positive African American images...There was the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. coverage which was very inspirational and positive, and the coverage from Washington that showed Obama and his preparation for the record breaking Inauguration that will take place on tomorrow...

It was almost an out of body experience as the conversation was very lively and the mood amongst 'US' was a step above normal. As I engaged in the conversation and the enjoyable atmosphere I began to wonder how long will this last...

With the constant negative images we see of African Americans portrayed on T.V. that go from the daily news to the obnoxious reality shows that we tune in to watch, has the election of Obama brought about the type of CHANGE that 'WE' as a people need...The change from within that has caused what is known as the 'Social Separation'...??

I'm not sure but I honestly feel that subconsciously the images that the Obama's (and many other positive African Americans) provide, will fuel the change that allows African Americans to remove the wall that has kept 'US' from believing

So as we live through these days and critique every bit of media coverage and memorabilia lets be sure to remember that this is History and that we should enjoy how far things have come and how far 'WE' still have to go...

HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY & ENJOY THE INAUGURATION
