60 years ago today, on Bloody Sunday, Amelia Boynton Robinson was beaten unconscious for democracy.

Her sacrifice led to the Voting Rights Act & 10,000+ Black people elected to office, including @BarackObama, who 50 yrs later held her hand across the bridge where she was beaten.

New Orleans artist Tahj "Queen Tahj" Williams is the first Black woman to design the Super Bowl logo and theme art for Super Bowl LIX. Her intricate beadwork honors the Black Masking tradition, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of New Orleans on football's biggest stage.

Hey New Jersey, Early in-person voting starts today through Sunday, Nov. 3 because years ago we, alongside @LWVNJ and other partners, fought for it.

Cast your ballot early and remember - when we fight for democracy, we win.

60 years ago, Fannie Lou Hamer took America to task for failing to support voting rights for Black people.

"All of this is on account we want to register, to become first-class citizens... I question America, is this America?"
