Studies have shown that a significant percentage of white Americans will oppose social programs that benefit them because they think too many Black people will benefit as well. It's just rarely made this explicit these days.

#TeamFranklinCounty#RiseTogether
We need to think of each other as true sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something seriously directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Commissioner Crawley spent her morning at the #OhioStateFair giving a speech about Franklin County Urban Roots— a collaboration between the Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Ohio State University (CFAES) to provide local eighth graders with hands-on opportunities.
This is leadership.

Thank you @OSUExtension for partnering on Urban Roots, which will benefit youth by sparking interests and finding passion in agriculture and natural resources. It's about innovation and technology, from the food that we eat to the fiber in our clothes. @CommishCrawley
My ancestors were stolen from the shores of W Africa and enslaved in America. They had no bodily autonomy. They were property. Raped. Forced to breed only to have their babies ripped from their arms. They were traumatized. But they fought. They fought for a world they’d never see
