black women and the vote that changes everything
black history month theme for 2020
In 2020, the theme for Black History Month focused on the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote. I would like to think
This year, the theme for Black History Month is “African Americans and the Vote” and, at this moment, I feel like a fraud as I am not even sure I want to vote. Yep, I said it. Out loud. So what?
Regardless of which side of the partisan table you sit, what we witnessed today was not just, nor was it justice. Not in any sense of the word and definitely not what my ancestors gave their lives for. I am pissed the fuck off!
The system is rigged. Against us. It always has been and the more we continue descending into the orange flames of hell, I am even more convinced that it matters not what I do. I mean really? Adding insult to injury is that this is the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, where women finally received the right to vote. It is also the sesquicentennial anniversary of the 15th Amendment where Black men received the right to vote.
