A Helot was elected head of Sparta.

Has this ever happened before in the history of the world? That an "untouchable" rose to become the head of the most powerful nation/empire in the world?

America today, showed the rest of the world, that this is the land where anyone can be anything. Not just in theory. But in practice.

Let us celebrate today.

Tomorrow, however, is a different story.
