HISTORY NIGHT '08
Published On 11-07-2008 , 1:00 AM
Where were you on History Night ’08?
Joyce, who lives in Duarte, California, watched history unfold November 4th on the television set in her family room. At what she thinks was 8:00 p.m., the phone calls began coming in to her viewing room from Barbados, the Virgin Islands and elsewhere.
“They couldn’t really say anything.” Joyce said all of the callers yelled the same thing
“We did it; we did it.”
Other viewers who called our Talk About Parenting with Shirlee Smith LIVE show on Wednesday said pretty much the same thing – “We Did It!”
Eshe, who phoned from Chandler, Arizona, had worked at bi-lingual station at a polling place. She told the story of a recent naturalized citizen from Guatemala whom she assisted. It was the older woman’s first time voting and how extremely careful she was with her ballot taking about a half-hour to fill it out and then review it several times.
The call-in feature of our live show along with web streaming has truly broadened our information and viewing base, which is helps viewers understand the bigger picture.
Beverlee Bruce, Ph.D. past guest on our Tuesday/Friday half-hour show, dialed us up and provided an update on election night happenings in Harlem where she lives.
While I’m known to complain about the gadgetry technology has to offer, Talk About Parenting with Shirlee Smith would be running flat without it.
Hank, the Republican businessman, (not to be confused with ‘Joe the Republican plumber’) called us from the George Bush Airport in Houston Texas before he picked up his luggage.” I know my priorities,” he said and Hank has said to me, in the past, family always comes first. I hope everyone remembers that Talk About Parenting with Shirlee Smith is all about supporting families and helping them become stronger.
Hank talked, among other things, about his forming the organization Black Republicans for Obama – BRO.
Wednesday’s show also included discussion of the California ballot propositions and on the passing of Proposition 8 –Same Sex Couple Legal Marriage. La Quetta gave our viewers a personal perspective of the need for us to have defeated this measure.
Many callers - much discussion. Tune in every Wednesday 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. PST. Charter channel 56 (PCAC) or see it streamed on the web by visiting our home page and clicking the PCAC logo during broadcast hours.
Check our calendar for our November guest and show information.

| | 1. | Shirlee, I just read your posting of November 7th about where we were and what we did on Election night. I celebrated at my house, while my wife, Wyllene, attended an Obama function with staffers, in downtown Savannah. She called me from there so I could share in the "Bedlam" that broke loose at 11:01EST. And, what happened next, is my personal "Obama story", for the future. Seems that while I was visiting with you on The Parenting Show, remember I called in from George Bush Airport, someone was snatching my bag, down at the Baggage Claim. The Airlines have finally concluded this, since they still can't find it. As a result of my not having my bag, which they were to deliver at the hotel, the following morning, before my appearance for a big business conference, the organization I head was holding. I went on with what I wore the day before. Therefore Henry T. Wilfong Jr., MBA, CPA, President of The National Association of Small Disadvantaged Businesses and Co-Chair of Black Republicans for Obama-BRO, conducted an all-day business seminar with a black tee-shirt with OBAMA '08 emblazoned across the front of it. And, the crowd LOVED it. So, we had a dynamic seminar, that exemplified Change. YES WE CAN!!!!! Your Friend, in The Movement Hank
