Last night was a miracle for me. I am 59 years old. I watched Martin Luther King give the I have a dream speech live on tv as a child. I grew up in America where segregation was common, lynching took place, beatings and torture of blacks and civil right workers were accepted. I never expected to see a Black person or a woman run for the presidency in my lifetime. This is the same for me when I watched the Berlin wall fall. The last eight years have been a nightmare. I have hope which I have not had in a nightmare. Having gone through Vietnam, I never expected to go through another war without an end in sight.
