I wanted Hillary, actually my first choice was Joe Biden, so you must know how pleased I am with the final results. All three there together, a change has come.
I worked Election Day and Night. Watched every age group, male, female, ethnicity, and persuasion march into the school where I worked for a politician to make some extra bread.
When I got back to Brooklyn that night, the announcement had just come in. Obama was our new president. A white woman stood on her stoop as I came up from the subway stairs. I heard shouting from the streets around me. "Did he win?" I asked.
"Yes," she said, staring at the park across from us.
A change had come.
A change is gonna come.
