Yes, He Could. Yes, They Did.
I cannot begin to say how much it meant to me to have been able to witness first-hand the election of the US' first Black president from the heart of Harlem.
The above image was snapped in the wee hours of this morning as I perched precariously on top of a small table at the back of the packed 8th Avenue restaurant/bar Londell's, watching and listening to those momentous images and words of president-elect, Barack Hussein Obama. People round me - black and white alike - whooped, clapped and wept openly. I was no exception.
Let the healing begin, and praises to the divine intelligences that be. That's God to me.
