107-Year-Old Woman Excited to Vote for President for the 13th Time

One of South Carolina’s oldest residents is looking forward to voting for a president for the 13th time. Donella Wilson, whose parents were slaves, says she’s casting her vote not just for herself, but for those who preceded her. Wilson lived through a time where African-Americans and women did not have a right to vote — she cast her first vote in the 1940s. “We couldn’t spell vote,” she says. “We didn’t know what the word meant other than we had an opportunity to say something and cast a vote, praying as we go along that the vote could count to help us as a negro race.”
