watching Hillary Clinton bow out

We may have been at an all-day singing workshop on Saturday but that didn't keep some of our women from watching Hillary Clinton's speech live on an iPhone during lunch. For many of these women, Hillary's historic bid to be the next President of the United States came as a direct result of their decades-long struggle for women's rights. In our midst were some of the grandmothers of the women's movement both in Windsor, Ontario and in Michigan. Whether or not we supported Hillary Clinton politically--some did and some didn't--we were all gratified to see a woman come this close to getting the Democratic Presidential nomination. And now we are united in our commitment to seeing Barack Obama become the next President of the United States of America!

as in the womens rights movement, historically, from the beginning, a black man will succeed prior to a woman...history repeats itself! wonderful image and commentary! V
