Ain’t Nothin’ But A Party!

For those of you that don’t know– I live in Harlem.

It is mayhem of the most joyous kind here.

I will try and post media from my cell phone ASAP if the quality is decent.

I was blessed enough to follow a procession of brass and dancers a la New Orleans to a rally at the intersection of 125th and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd where a raucous throng of Americans were celebrating the victory of Barack Obama.  I heard his victory speech surrounded by men, women, and children from all walks of life, some in tears, some with fists clenched in pride, all filled with hope.

Regardless of your political beliefs, this election represents the turning of a page in the history of our Republic and our World.

I have no words that can really sum up the pride I feel for my country nor my hope for its future nor the happiness that is filling what are often less than ecstatic streets.

Tonight in Harlem and across America, it ain’t nothing but a party.  Tomorrow the sun dawns on a new era of the American Republic and the work of Americans begins anew.
