Living memory
Sarah Gordon, a New York poll worker, was raised by her grandmother--born in 1862--and great-greatmother, who was born under slavery.
Coy about her exact age, Mrs. Gordon is in her 10th decade and came into the world before women could vote. After the early death of her mother, she was raised in rural North Carolina by her grandmother Mary Parker, born in 1862. She lived until she was 105. Grandmother Parker was born to a slave named Molly Sykes.
As a young girl, Sarah Gordon often sat in the lap of Great-Grandmother Sykes, who lived to be 106, long enough to tell her of life on a plantation as the property of whites.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Gordon sat in a chair behind a folding table in her polling place, helping to manage the surge of people who had lined up to cast a vote for the first black president.
“They were coming all morning,†Mrs. Gordon said. “It is because we will never see this again. The older people like myself, who always had the intention of seeing it, but didn’t think they would, they are coming to vote. They want to be part of something we never thought we would see.â€
