Beautiful quote from Ireland Newspaper about President Obama's win ~ in 2008 ~

Rosa Parks sat so that Martin could walk

Martin walked so that Obama could run

Obama ran so our children could fly

(Ireland Independent, Dublin)

I just pulled out a book I purchased after the '08 win with headlines from around the country and the world & this one brought on the waterworks & the warm fuzzies.

Had to share.
