How awesome is this.WALLACE (voiceover): The power of the moment was not lost on her.SEARS: A black lieutenant governor was handing off to another black lieutenant governor, and that has never happened.UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So that\u2019s history.SEARS: That is history.God bless Virginia.WALLACE (voiceover): Sears ran at a time when race and education are the focus of charged debate.SEARS: Nobody is denying that we don\u2019t want to hear all the history, least of all me. I certainly don\u2019t want the sins of the past to be repeated. We don\u2019t have to tear one person down in order to build another up. That\u2019s no way to be. That\u2019s not America.WALLACE (voiceover): Sears\u2019 love for America is rooted in her life story. She immigrated from Jamacia and served in the Marines.SEARS: Everything that I\u2019ve had, I\u2019ve had to work for. No one gave me anything.WALLACE (voiceover): She isn\u2019t shy about how her lived experience shapes her worldview.SEARS: In case you haven\u2019t noticed, I am black and I have been black all my life. \u2026 But that\u2019s not what this is about.SEARS: Sometimes what happens to you isn\u2019t because you\u2019re black or because you\u2019re a woman, it\u2019s simply life. I mean, some days you\u2019re the pigeon and some days you\u2019re the statute. It\u2019s just life.SEARS: We need to wake up.WALLACE: Her victory, her politics, and this photo made headlines beyond the commonwealth.SNL\u2019s MICHAEL CHE: \u2026 was elected as Virginia\u2019s first black female lieutenant governor. But this is actually a win for Democrats because nothing will get Republicans to support gun control faster than this picture.WALLACE (on camera): Did you think the joke was funny?SEARS: Well, I did, because I thought, well, I don\u2019t think he knows what he\u2019s saying. And the fact that his audience thought it was quite hilarious was also very telling about their character. So, you know, it\u2019s a bunch of hypocrisy, but it\u2019s all right. I can handle it. I\u2019m a big girl.WALLACE (voiceover): It\u2019s that tenacity that has political insiders asking already if she has bigger plans.SEARS: I just want to serve, you know, in the end. And I really want others to see me, especially the children, to say, well, if Winsome can do it, I can do it, because I didn\u2019t do anything special except stay in school and study. And I never let anybody walk over me. And if they did, they didn\u2019t get a second chance.(END VIDEOTAPE)WALLACE: Winsome Sears is ready to go.
