"Daughter of Slave Votes for Obama"

"Amanda Jones, 109, the daughter of a man born into slavery, has lived a life long enough to touch three centuries. And after voting consistently as a Democrat for 70 years, she has voted early for the country's first black presidential nominee."

From the Austin-American Statesman, by Joshunda Sanders.

As does 114-year-old Gertrude Baines, as reported by Tami Abdollah in the Los Angeles Times.
