Running as a Woman for President in Selma Alabama
Senator Hillary Clinton is going to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in commemoration of the right to vote in Selma Alabama. The bridge that showed the world, the anonymity southern raced whites had toward African-Americans. John Lewis and others marching got a beat down, by Alabama state troopers. Lewis on the Early Morning Show stated, that on the highest point of the bridge, marchers found themselves facing a sea of blue, state troopers. Sheriff Jim Clark was instrumental in the movement to prevent African-American from registering to vote. Later, even the great Dr. Martin King, Jr. and fellow marchers were turned around and forbidden to cross the bridge. But King, Jr. eventually crossed the bridge, and Selma would be known as the landmark that changed America.
Senator Clinton attending such an emotional historical event sends a message to Senator Barack Obama that she ain't skeert. Yep, she is going to show Senator Obama she may not be black, but she is bringing along an authentic black man. Her husband, the one and only President Bill Clinton is gonna help her get the African-American vote. Now go tell that to your MaMa Obama! It's all about heart for the African-American vote. Or is it? No there is something else byeond loving Bill.
Perhaps after Senator Clinton crosses the bridge, Clinton may hear the echos of one of Dr. King, Jr. speeches, How Long, Not Long. It took hundreds of years for African-Americans to get the right to vote, with a constitution amendment in 1870. But many African-Americans were not allowed to vote until the passing of Voting Rights Act of 1965. When will an African-American male be qualified to sit in the President seat? How long, Not Long.
