Sweet Home Alabama

Dear Alabama,
Thank you. You inspired a deeply red state to elect a Democrat for the first time in nearly 25 years. You have given us hope amongst a country which has been fueled by rampant racism, bigotry, discrimination, sexism, and blatant sexual harassment and assault. You have lit a torch for all to see. You have sent a deep and clear message that there are some things we simply cannot ignore. For the first time in a long time I have hope again. You have restored my faith in humanity. You have demonstrated that we as a nation can accomplish peace and justice. We can and we will rise. My heartfelt gratitude is over flowing. Thank you for lighting the match. May you be the first of many.
