Amanda Jones

Amanda Jones is the 109 year old black woman that Obama referenced in his acceptance speech. She is a woman of deep faith (according to NPR), with framed Bible verses all over the walls of her home. She believes in God, even though scores of horrible atrocities she has experienced could have removed that faith from her. She feels that God himself had a hand in this process, and that Barack’s election is a “blessing.” I agree with her. God bless you, Mrs. Jones, and rest well. God knows you have earned it.
