Sadly, the Obama presidency has come to an end. I sure enjoyed those eight years and what a great man I had to serve as my president. You may have not liked him and everything, but one thing you will get to tell the generations to come, is how you lived during a time where the President of the United States was a black man.

If you go back into the 1950's-1960's and asked anyone if they believed that a black man would become U.S President, some would have hope and would have said yes, but majority would have said no. If you were to ask them if they believed that a woman could be U.S President, the answers would be the same.

I think it's pretty damn cool that we got to live during a time where the United States of America's president was a black man and a woman ran for president. Even though Hillary lost, I also think it's pretty damn cool that a woman got that far.

At my summer job, I get to work with people who have experienced living during different eras. I learned what it was like during World War II, the Civil Rights Movement and the riots after Dr. King's assassination. I learned about the fear that citizens had during the Cold War, I learned about Korea, I learned more about 20th century U.S History than any textbook could ever inform. There is no greater way to learn history then hearing it from a person who has lived it.

Tell your future children and grandchildren what it was like having a black man as president. Whether you liked him or not, you got to experience something in history that no one thought would happen.

Here's hoping that another minority is elected president in the future. Maybe a Native American--that'd be something I would want to see
