In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #DemsUnited #BlackHistoryWithLana

60 years ago today, with my father looking on, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the #VotingRightsAct of 1965.
That critical legislation is in jeopardy today.
We must #RestoreTheVRA and ensure that we strengthen the act and our democracy.
Call your U..S. Senators and compel them to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act: (202) 224-3121
Quick #Juneteenth history lesson. Crazy that this 1 1/2 min video won’t be allowed in a lot of schools across the country in 2025 thanks to Trump. But this is why we have to educate our own children at home. We know what their intentions are. They’ve made them crystal clear
