A Breakthrough for African Americans

I tell ya it does not take me too long to find a story for my Touching, Truly Touching series…especially when I really search through the wreckage of life.

After last week’s tornado of bad news and the continuation of the Tiger Woods rubbish this week (lost of a Gatorade endorsement and cancellation of a congressional medal award), I thought briefly about forgoing NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Then I thought, ‘I might see something that inspires me. Make me smile. Or, touch me.’

The video at the link below was my gateway to remain positive about life. The story was my breakthrough. My confirmation that if we live long enough we just might see more improvements, and witness more medical cures. I am hoping this light at the end of the tunnel is a cure for the 70,000 African Americans living with a disease many believe the white American health system neglected for years.
