History

I have seen many changes in our country over the last fifty years:

• Political activists being murdered in the south because for their attempts to register blacks to vote.
• The assassinations of a president, a civil rights leader and a candidate running for president.
• Men walked on the moon.
• Spacecrafts sent to outerspace and Mars
• Mars landing and pictures sent back of Mars surface
• The end of the cold war
• Women running for and being elected to public office
• The first black, Barack Obama, claimed the nomination of the Democratic Party to run for President.

Our nation has come a long way in the last fifty years in the quest for equality. But we still have a long way to go - especially with equal rights for women, civil rights, and affordable health care for all Americans.
