Dear President-Elect Obama:
First, let me convey my joy at your amazing victory last night. I was one of the students involved in the Civil Rights movement in the early 60's. I could never understand bigotry -- to me it semed to be the ultimate sign of ignorance.
But now, you've done the impossible, creating a coalition of hope and peace, bringing generations together from young, enthusiastic first-time voters to elderly people who have lived a lifetime hoping against hope that this kind of victory would happen one day. I am blessed to have survived through several cancer battles -- I believe I was spared to see this day.
I am truly sorry that your grandmother did not live to see your incredible victory, but I believe she is watching your family's (and the nation's) joy from heaven.
May God keep you and your beautiful family safe and sound and far from harm's way. You are the hope of America's and the world's future.
