Re: Election Day 2004

I voted today.
As an African-American I find voting to be not only a right but a privilidge and a duty. My grandfather fought down in Savannah, GA for African-Americans to have equal rights. His life was even threatened by the Klan but he kept on. For me not to do something as simple as voting would be a slap in the face of my grandfather and those who stood along side him in the civil rights movement. It's the least I can do.
