I can't even imagine everything she's seen in her lifetime!

- 106-year-old votes for Barack Obama; "Isn't that something?" she asks
- Ann Cooper remembers an era when women, blacks were not allowed to vote
- Centenarian was socialite, community leader in Atlanta's black society
- Cooper's advice to younger generation: Be cheerful, get out and vote

It would be so awesome to spend an afternoon with this lady and hear about her life and the changes she has seen! She probably has an incredible firsthand insight into practically the entire 20th century. A true treasure!

Isn't it shocking that she's voting for Obama, even though she went to grammar school with McCain?
