Harold Dean Trulear: A Spirit of Revivial

I have never been more proud to be a black man. Because I felt part of something -- a community that did not care that I am a card-carrying Republican, because they knew how I would vote. I would vote for the men and women who gave their lives that this day might come to pass. So when I voted for Barack Obama, I dug deep with no regrets.
