All along the way were people of courage of all colors who challenged the status quo. One of them was my great-grandfather, Hon. Joseph H. Rainey the first Black Congressman, whom you mention in your blog. He has always been my hero, my inspiration to achieve in spite of all odds. Today while witnessing the inauguration, I marveled that each generation had suffered and sacrificed a little less until now we are hopefully at the point where the suffering and sacrifice will not be because of race. And I, like you, hope that now we can be Americans one, Americans all. Let us hope that categorizations like Black History Month and Native Heritage Month will no longer be necessary. <BR/><BR/>http://lornarainey.blogspot.com<BR/>www.nativeintelligencethebook.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
