The Help!

Woke up this morning to The Help being on Showtime. My mind went back to he first time I seen it in a movie theater sold out in downtown Chicago 1 out of 6 black people. I didn't know how to feel and you can tell many of them didn't know how to feel either.By the end of the movie most people was crying or had cried and you forget about color for a minute. As I watched today in the comfort of my own home all I could feel was gratitude. My tears were tears of appreciation, and gratitude not hate, dislike, or pain. Those who came before us endured a lot for us to have the opportunities that we have today and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for my granny who endured many of the same things these women did. Thank you to every person who came before me, who fought, who died so that we may live. Many of us couldn't imagine enduring the pain of our ancestors and because of them we truly never have too.
