Help me with my tattoo
Please help decide which number is more correct. I've decided that when Barak Obama wins the election, I will commemorate this event with a tattoo. As an African American I've chosen the number of years from recorded date of slavery until the election of the first African American President.I've found many different start dates of slavery in the United States, ranging from 1619 to 1656. I've settled on 1619 date as an solid start date ; my question is the end date. Should I use 2008, the year of the election, or 2009 the date of the president. Please help
