SENATOR SCOTT COLOM (Mississippi)-D. In honor of all those who lost their lives in Freedom Summer. For Medgar Evers. For Fannie Lou Hammer. For our ancestors. There’s Blood on that Ballot Box.
We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!
Tonight let's please honor the memory of Medgar Evers, World War II veteran and NAACP field secretary in Mississippi, who was murdered at the age of 37 outside his home in June 1963 and gave his life for civil and voting rights in Mississippi:
What Gilbert Arenas said about Ayesha was wholly disrespectful. It also was disrespectful to use Cookie Johnson as an example of shut up and play your role. Complete ignorance.
Wow! Unexpected upset! Colom becomes 3rd black man elected to US Senate from Mississippi. The first two: Hiram Rhodes Revels (in 1870) & Blanche Kelso Bruce (in 1874). Both served during Reconstruction. Back then, US Senators were chosen by state legislatures—not by popular vote.
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://t.co/7He7iU15yD
@KwikWarren The craziest thing about Mississippi is that it did not ratify ending slavery until 1993. Sure it was illegal but they still waited that long to do it. Look that shit up! I used to live in Meridian, Mississippi (NAVY). Yeah, there were places blacks folks didn't go.
