LZ Granderson: Life expectancy in 1900 had been a mere 47 years ; now it's 76.9 years .
Granderson says life expectancy in the U.S. in 47th place, just ahead of Antigua and Barbuda .
He says there are gaps in health care access, poverty, risky behaviors like gun ownership and unhealthy physical and social conditions in the United States .
LZ: No one has a definitive answer for why this has happened.
Back in 2000 , I speculated whether great grandkids would listen to their 150-year-old elders in the future.
I hope they hear about the persistent optimism that led us to a better life in the 20th century .
Maybe I was too exuberant almost 24 years ago , but the 21st century is still young.
