“If he didn’t exist, the United States would have had to invent him.” — Awesome quote.

Oh, I see Vanessa wrote the same thing. Well, “me too”. Warmed my heart quite a bit to hear that.

I love what the professor says at the end of the last clip.

(I paraphrasing)

“Now we have someone who’s at the top of his class, not at the bottom of his class. We have someone who went to the best schools. We have a black man raised by white middle-class grandparents. If he didn’t exist America would have to event him.”

Just beautiful.

It warms my heart to see these happily shocked black seniors.

Cong. John Lewis was the first old-timer that I saw with that dawning look on his face.

He basically said, “I know I endorsed Hillary Clinton. And she’s a great candidate, but…something’s happening…”

I’ll never forget it.

Wowsers indeedy. That old university prof in the last video, I think his expression and mannerisms can only be described as surprised and delighted. Infectious.
