In 2008, the newly elected ‘Leader of the Free World’ ended his speech
 with a prominent point of interest, something a friend of ours, who
 upon questioning, immediately identified as the most impactful portion
 of the monologue. President Obama points to a particular voter in
 Atlanta, Ann Nixon Cooper, who at 106 years old has witnessed
 first-hand a tremendous amount of US history. He speaks of her
 experience with the Dust Bowl, the New Deal, the Great Depression,
 Civil Rights, landing on the moon, and finally, voting on a touch
 screen. If we were to live 100 years, what changes could we envision?
 How do those changes happen, if at all?

 Ann Cooper Nixon lived to gain her right to vote, and 3 years ago
 voted for hope in the future.

 This is her story. Within it, is ours.
