[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 209672, member: 30"] [COLOR="LemonChiffon"][/COLOR]I was talking to my mother about the election this afternoon. My mother is a white 70 yr. old woman. She was very pleased with the history that was made. She grew up in a very small Kansas town. She choked up and told me how when she was a young girl, how she remembered that the black people were not allowed to sit on the bus. How the black people were not allowed to drink from a water fountain. How when there was a baseball game and the opposing team was black, they were not allowed rooms in the hotel. The team had to spend the night sleeping in their cars and they were not allowed to eat in the restaurants. My mother witnessed this as a child, so yes, she was very proud to see progress made in race relations. :cheerleader::liberty::proudamerican: [/QUOTE]
