Hillary Clinton Makes History

No matter your political leanings, with the upcoming Presidential election, Hillary Clinton has made history becoming the first woman ever to lead the presidential ticket of a major political party(the Democratic Party).

As a history teacher, I am so very excited to see this historic event unfolding in my lifetime. Many, many women(and men...) worked hard and suffered much to create an environment where this has finally become possible.
