MS-MAYOR: A Stunning Story

This isnt of much consequence from a strictly strategic political perspective, but is a story I felt compelled to share with the SSP community.
An African-American, James Young, was elected Mayor (on Tuesday, I imagine) of Philadelphia, MS.

Whats remarkable about this election was not only did he beat out a 3-term white incumbent Mayor or that he did it in a city that has a 55% white population in the Deep South, but that he did it in Philadelphia - the city where 3 civil rights workers were killed, a brutal, horrific incident that inspired the movie "Mississippi Burning" (An absolute must watch for those who have not seen it).

Even after electing an African-American POTUS just 7.5 months ago, I still cannot help being moved and impressed by this story. I hope everyone will take a few minutes to click on the link, read the story and watch the video of CNN speaking to James Young. Truly inspiring
