while at the Schoenberg museum i got the chance to meet congressman Rangel and his wife. that was an first personal experience that i had in a long time that made me so proud to be apart of Harlemlive because without them i would of never got the chance to speak to the congressman or even get to shake his hand.A day in history that made a difference in my life.
yesterday i voted for the first time in my life and i felt like a made a difference like my voice was heard, my thought may come to the light. never had the feeling of making history and voting for Obama..i also went down to the Schoenberg Museum where they held an event in support of the 2008 elections. i was so proud to be in N.Y. last night because for the first time in my whole life i felt a change in everything. people on my block was going crazy..trowing things running around screaming OBAMA!!!! it just was an experience wish i had recorded it. now i and other African American have no reason to believe we can succeed cause if Obama can do it so can we.
we also went to 125Th street in front of the state building where they held their own event contain to the elections and got a chance to talk to some people and meet an CB11 reporter name Chris Glorioso and he gave us a first hand look at how the whole thing goes down when he does his interview and how long it takes to get it process and sent back to the studios. he also explain the equipment he had and how he did his voice over not even in an studio but, he wrote his lines out on his blackberry and then read them off as if he was at the studio onto an tape recorder and past his b role over his recordings. Everywhere i went these past days I've seen nothing but Obama and Rangel posters or shirts and now to see that after all the talk about a black or colored man can not be president, to just see and be a witness of it makes me feel special and after i went to the state building my whole ride home all i heard about is "Obama the right man for the job" and "its time for a change in the white house" and in my head I'm like wow never knew it made people talk to each other so much and talk so positive, because usually when I'm on the train it either quiet or people arguing and last night it was peaceful and all for OBAMA.
Also today in school we have this thing in my school called "full group" and it where the whole school comes together for an hour and talk about things going on in life and in the school. and today a lot of kids screaming Obama and going wild because we have a new president and he African American and they was just all so happy to be aprat of history when in life as for as i know it people always doubt us to have an black president even 2pac doubt it--> "And although it seems heaven sent we ain't ready, to see a black president it ain't a secret don't conceal the fact the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks" so i feel if 2pac felt this way in 1995 seeing how Bill Clinton was the president at the time. Althou a lot of people called Bill Clinton the "black" president. so if 2pac was around now he would be proud just like all the millions of African American in the world are today.
The New President Of The United States Of America--->
