Barak Obama becomes President!!! I am sitting here watching the crowds gather in Washington to watch the Inauguration, with a front row seat in front of my TV No way would I be in all those thousands and thousands of people. I am very happy to see it all on TV. I would never miss a minute of this great day when Barak Obama becomes the first Black President of the United States. This is my day off but earlier my supervisor called and asked if I would come in. I told her I wasn't going anywhere, I was gonna sit here in my recliner and watch the E-nag-u-ration!!!! She just said "Oh, I'll try somebody else then". I told Amanda you couldn't blast my butt out of that recliner today. I told her some things that I remember about Bermuda, growing up back in the 60's with discrimination and was at that fair on the docks in Hamilton when the riots began. I remember Momma telling us let's get out of here because she figured trouble was starting and this was the beginning of the riots. Black people let the Whitefolks know we weren’t gonna take it anymore, change was coming! This is how I feel today watching all those hundreds of thousands of people of all colours and ethnicities cheering and celebrating in the freezing cold and waiting for 12 noon. They all want to be part of history and be able to say, yes, the first Black President was sworn in, " and I was there" Celebrate with me!!!!
