It strikes me that President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, was from Illinois, and now Barak Obama, an Illinois Senator, is apparently the first African-American President-Elect.

Wow! You are right! That kind of gives me chills.

BTW... I used to live in Pontiac, Streater, and in Cornell, which is in between.
