I feel like we should honor this woman on the eve of our historic moment.





I hope she's looking down and smiling as the last glass ceiling shatters,she was a true pioneer in her run for the nomination of the democratic candidate for president.

I remember when her name was brought up constantly in 2008, when Obama was attempting to become the first black Democratic nominee and Hillary the first woman.
