If you are a 7 year old African-American child... [View all]

up until January, you had only known an African-American president.

How cool is that!

Maybe also for a 10 year old, who wasn't paying attention at age 3... only a black president.

There are so many of us with the older perspective of "I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime!"

But imagine the perspective of a child.

There is no "I didn't think it would happen". It's "this is how it is, and therefore, isn't it supposed to be this way?"

I am determined to ask some 5-10 year olds what they think a president is supposed to look like.
