Last Update: 11/05/2008 5:54 pm
(WXYZ) Teenagers who arrived for a scheduled tour of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, had a chance to share their thoughts about the historic 2008 Vote.

HEAR FROM THE TEENS IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT

The teenagers were on a trip that had been scheduled long before Barack Obama was elected as our nation's next President. Action News reporter Kimberly Craig was able to talk with the teens about their thoughts.

One teen says she feels that the "glass ceiling" has been shattered.

The teens were visiting the museum with a non-profit group called "Generation of Promise." It's an organization that celebrates culture and diversity.

Meanwhile, the museum expects to have a Barack Obama exhibit some time in the future.
