Change today and change yesterday!!!!!!

With all the changes going on in America and with President Obama being the first Black president, I feel that we sometimes forget that America and the world itself has come along way. Even though there are laws that prevent the same unjustifications as in the 1960's and back we still fight for a better country for homosexuals, minorities and others as a way to continue to make the world a better place. But something struck me and hurt me to the hard core could the changes of seeing Obama being the first black president give forgotten thought of those like Martin Luther king and Gandhi that came before him. Sometimes we get so caught up in the present to the point we see everything as equal for all walks of life today. But what if we saw it from the perspective of those who fought for the rights and reasoning's we have today, would we continue fighting or allow ourselves to stop now thinking there is no end, but today. Just food for thought.
