The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act, making it easier for bad state actors to silence the voices of Black and minority voters and harder for us to challenge discrimination in court.
Today we honor the first Black mayor of Birmingham, Alabama—Richard Arrington Jr. He served the city for two decades and dedicated himself to making Birmingham “a city where all of her people could be proud.” #BlackHistoryMonth
I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Ms. JoAnne Bland — a freedom fighter and daughter of Selma, Alabama. It was Foot Soldiers like JoAnne who put their lives and freedom on the line for the right of all Americans to vote.
As the founder of Foot Soliders Park in Selma, JoAnne dedicated her life to ensuring that the rich history of The Movement was preserved for generations to come. May she rest in peace and power. 💖🙏🏾
Bill Greason, now 101, is the last living player from the #Negro#Leagues era. WTVM Anchor Guy Rawlings talked with Rev. Greason a couple years ago while he was pastoring Bethel Baptist Church, sharing some of the stories from his past. #BlackHistoryMonth
