""I just feel honored," Sherman said. "We are the ones bringing the baby girl into the world. Finally, after over 100 years. It's amazing.""
""She was a trailblazer in Atlanta," Sherman said. "She dealt with the civil rights during the civil rights time. She met a lot of civil rights leaders, and she made an impact in Atlanta.""
""I love her. No matter what path she chooses, we will be with her," Michael's grandmother, Lydia Robertson, said. "She's going to always have support here.""
Michael and Joacquia Sherman of Montgomery County, Texas, learned they are expecting a baby girl, ending a 108-year streak of only male births in the Sherman family. The last female Sherman was Orah Belle Sherman, born in 1917. Orah Belle Sherman was described as a trailblazer in Atlanta who engaged with civil rights leaders and made an impact during the civil rights era. Family members expressed excitement and committed support for the incoming child. The baby is due in March, and the family plans to check whether the birth breaks a Guinness World Record.
