2. I will do just that! It's so honorable. I don't know if I have any
ancestors here. I'm originally from Africa, been here since I was eight. But in my family one of my great, great, great, greats' kid was taken (a 12year old boy) during the slave trade. Later, the ancestors found out he was taken to America. So we've always wandered if he made it here alive and if he ever grew up and had children. My family and I choose to believe he did. I will vote for and with him on November 4th with a piece of ivory that's been in our family for generations that my dad brought with him for good luck in the early '60s.

Thank you so much for reminding me that there are so many no longer with us who would have been so very proud of this incredible election. Blessings.
