An historic moment

I just watched the roll-call vote wherein Hillary called for nomination by acclimation of Obama. That was cool enough but watching the audience reaction (guess Fox could find no sad faces) really brought it home to me. The majority of African Americans openly weeping, joined by no small number of others gave wordless testament to the long, hard struggle that brought the moment to fruition. Then hearing some of the old-timers like John Lewis interviewed, made me see just how important, (no, "monumental") this was for them

I immediately experienced a feeling, which I'm certain was felt millions of times at that moment by an aggregation of Americans from all walks and of all races:

"I never thought I would live to see this day."

Right now I'm proud to be an American, and I intend to increase the instances of feeling this pride by doing everything I can to elect Barak Obama.
