Hill Valley, nestled in Northern California, wasn’t always the most tolerant society in the nation. Though it could be considered a peaceful and quiet town, despite the occasional lightning storm and manure spill, Hill Valley was traditionally run by old white men- just like all cities in the country at the time. It took a brave soda shop employee to flip the city’s, and indeed the nation’s, whole political structure on its head.

Goldie Wilson recalls working for Mr. Carruthers who assured him that a “colored” [sic] mayor wouldn’t be likely in the near future. Many townspeople thought the same thing, and it took Goldie’s persistence and courage to win over a skeptical, and somewhat racist, voting populous.

Now, seeing his former political career mirrored by a young black man trying to lead a mass of voters peppered with hate, fear and misinformation Goldie Wilson offers his official endorsement to Barrack Obama for his 2008 presidential campaign.

“I don’t recall the face of the young man who first inspired me to be something,” Wilson said in a recent interview. “I don’t recall if he was white. I don’t recall if he was black. I just know that if you ever get the chance to talk to a member of our fine Coast Guard, he probably has some valuable advice.”

Other notable Hill Valley natives like Doctor Emmett Brown and successful Science Fiction author George McFly have followed Wilson by endorsing Obama. When Wilson was asked for a comment regarding the fact that there has never been a non-white president he simply replied, “History is about to change.”
