A little girl in South Africa named Legacy was two years old when Mr. Obama took office in 2009. In 2016, she asked her father a question.
Legacy - 'Dad, can a Caucasian American president speak as politely as an African American president?'
Dad - 'Of course sweetheart. Just you wait and see how polite a White American Commander-in-Chief speaks.'
In 2017, Legacy was 10 years old. She said to her dad, 'I told you so.'
Whatever happens to me, please take back your party. Too many suffered for what was lost to not build on your heritage. Please retake Fredrick Douglas's party of progress and freedom. Your destiny is in your hands, more than anytime in American history. Please be certain that spiral moves upward. With or without me.
To the family at the Minneapolis airport, with the daughter named Legacy and another daughter wearing a "Humanize the Hoodie" sweatshirt
the suffering of Minneapolis will be in vain only over my dead body.
