heard on the radio the other day. It broke me up:

[rurallib]

Rosa sat so Martin could walk
Martin walked so Barack could run
Barack runs so our children can fly

[madmax]

1. I'm going to print that

on parchment paper and frame it with pics of Barack and my I voted sticker.

2. I hope that's what happens, rurallib.

I'm so excited about tomorrow, and so hopeful.

3. That's why it's my sigline! nt

[rurallib]

4. Fantastic. I knew I was late hearing it but had to share.

[AnthemRoad]

5. Great saying

Do you know who came up with it first? Just curious.

[rurallib]

6. I am curious also.

7. I found a possible source...

Check here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/29/15143/556/908/645922

I found some info that may point the origin to - none other - than (perhaps) Jay Z, the rapper.

8. SWEET!!!

Goes directly into my Great Quotes file! Ain't it the truth! Hopefully America will be New and Improved, tomorrow night.

9. How about the real source...link within...tells the story...

Senator Cleo Fields at the State of the Black Union Event in Feb 2008...but just a little differently stated originally..as in the following...then the flying line was added by a hip hop artist named MC Brandon...

"Rosa Parks sat down so we could stand up. Martin Luther King marched so Jesse Jackson could run. Jesse Jackson ran so Obama could win."

Like a lot of you, I just had to know...wb
