Countdown to Change Rally in Columbus
Mayme Moore Park at Martin Luther King Jr. Performing and Cultural Arts Complex
867 Mount Vernon Avenue
Columbus, OH
Monday, November 3rd
Doors open 5:30 p.m.
Monday, November 3rd, I witnessed the Ohio Campaign for Change for a Countdown to Change Rally! The guest speakers were Mary J Blige, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Kevin Liles. Anybody who missed the rally did just that, missed it!(I missed the statehouse speech with Obama yesterday and i must say I was depressed!!) The energy that I felt was so moving! Everyone young and old, big and small, short and so damn tall I could'nt see, was there... It was soo inspiring to be there and a part of the movement to have our FIRST black president elected...The unity and dedication to the cause of getting this man in the white house was deeply rooted and felt amongst everyone in the crowd (even the naysayers, of which I am a friend lol)
It was the most moving feeling seeing my brothas and sisters unite although the smell of dog poo and black and mild smoke choking me out (and I just stopped smoking!!) Something that really hit my ears was something said by the host of the event Konata Holland of 107.5, he said "They keep tryna scare us with lines when we've stood in lines for the hottest Jordan's, the T.I. concert and much much more" (not a direct quote) Essentially we can stand and brave those lines to get our voices heard!!! I've done it for things way less important....
*On a sad note it was announced that Barack's grandmother had just passed.... There was a moment of silence held in her honor. She won't be here in person to witness history, but I'm sure her presence will be felt. Condolences and prayers are being lifted up for the family now as we speak...
I'm really only gonna touch on what hit my ears the most which is this from my twitter posts:
