My cannon of knowledge in American history informs me that the #Callais Decision will be handed down from the Supreme Court on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or during African American History Month in order to establish maximum psychological effect. #MLKDay #CivilRightsMovement #FairMaps

The death of #ReneeGood at the hand of law enforcement gives me energy of #GeorgeFloyd (due to geographical location), Viola Liuzzo (because the victim was driving), Tyre Nichols and Michael Brown (based on news outlet reporting that medical first responders were slow), and Chaney, Goodman,

The crown jewel of the Second #CivilRightsMovement shall be the passage of the John R. Lewis #VotingRights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act. #JohnLewis #JRLVRAA #FTVA #Callais #Georgia #SecondCivilRightsMovement

Washington, #DistrictOfColumbia is not a colony, not a convenience, and not a bargaining chip. It is home to 700,000 Americans who live without full citizenship in practice and has created a permanent underclass.The residents have repeatedly expressed their discontent through the ballot box,

The South is the new political battleground. The #DemocraticParty must place civil rights activism, state and federal litigation, citizenship education, voter confidence in the ballot, passage of the John R. Lewis #VotingRights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act, ongoing mass

African American voters throughout the South and nationwide are living in a semblance of the post-Reconstruction era. If we are not careful and astute to history, liken unto there were no African Americans in the U.S. Congress from 1901 to 1929; a total erasure shall be repeated.

We can be a nation that fosters a new sociopolitical climate in which the respect for the Constitution, U.S. codes, international law, tolerance, understanding, diversity, inclusion, love and compassion, and cooperation are central. Change and injection of hope begins on March 3 through November 3.

Happy #NewYear And 163rd Anniversary Of The #EmancipationProclamation To All!

The 1965 Voting Rights Act was the crown jewel of the First Civil Rights Movement. In similar fashion, local, state, and the federal governments must achieve and execute on an agenda that enfolds the 14th and 15th Amendments, enshrines the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) into the Constitution,

"Since twenty (20) enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on August 20, 1619, we have been on a crusade for freedom under tremendous economic, social, political, and legal rule which seeks to suppress, oppress, and repress a people.

African Americans are the most loyal political constituency of the Democratic Party. We have a requisite to continue to challenge the United States of America to confront the most intractable problems it faces.

The Democratic Party can and must reset the political table! #RacialGerrymandering #VRA #VotingRights #Vote #2026Midterms #2028Election #CivilRightsMovement #SecondCivilRightsMovement #Callais #SouthernPolitics #Democrat #JRLVRAA #FTVA #DemocraticParty #FairMaps #Democracy #Congress #SCOTUS

We are experiencing a national confrontation with structural racism, spatial inequality, and economic subjugation. The enactment and execution of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act are the beginning breadth to correct errors associated

Greater Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas is one of my “home cities.” Its rich civil rights history is a constant in my head and heart. The recent passage of my John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act resolution in the Pulaski County Quorum Court,

Late Post- I am grateful to the Metropolitan Nashville Council, Councilwoman Suara, and her colleagues who co-sponsored a resolution in support of the congressional legislation, "The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act on my behalf. (From 3:11:39 To 3:16:53)

I would like to thank Councilman Dr. Grizzell, his staff, and colleagues from the deep wells of my heart on passing a John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and #FreedomToVoteAct resolution.

I speak freely, boldly, and openly about the condition of Black America. There is not enough authority or literature on our experiences in this country. For we have yet to receive our fair social, economic, legal, and political representation.

A Thought: Democratic Party Shadow Government America is battling the early years of authoritarianism. My thoughts around a Democratic Party Shadow government are squarely in line with our greatest solution to rebuild our society and restore civility.

A new imagination for the #DemocraticParty is necessary for us to overcome this "anti-" stigma. We are pro-business, pro-corporation, pro-growth, pro-nuclear family, pro-success, and pro-wealth. May it be more than a notion, but an action!

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP v. Lee was a court challenge to the racial gerrymander of Davidson County, Tennessee when the county was "cracked" into three (3) congressional districts, TN-05, TN-06, and TN-07.

The new political litmus test is based on current elected officials or aspirants support and vote in favor of the passage of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (#JRLVRAA), the Freedom to Vote Act, and the reauthorization of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (#VRA).

My response to every political phone call, text message, and email asking for a donation, "Mass voter registration and citizenship education." That ought to be what every elected official and aspirant should be focused.

The South is the new political battleground. The Democratic Party must place civil rights activism, state and federal litigation, citizenship education, voter confidence in the ballot, passage of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act,

In 2022, over five hundred African American women sought elected offices at every level of government. That trend nearly doubled in 2024 to over nine hundred. Ninety-two percent of the same population voted Democrat in the General Election. And, over eighty percent of African American men did, too.

America must tell itself hard and historical truths. In a sophisticated and simple way we can answer the questions to our problems. The acts of the Grand Old Party (GOP)are propped up by the ideology of white nationalism and economic inequality.

There is a constant drum beat on police brutality and individuals dying while in police custody. I have fought and organized in those similar trenches. We must expand the scope of the fight.

#OnThisDay in 1966, Stokely Carmichael told a rally in Greenwood MS, “We been saying freedom for 6 years & we ain’t got nothin’. What we got to start saying now is Black Power!” The slogan became a movement promoting Black identity, pride & self-determination. mississippitoday.org/2025/06/16/o...

#OnThisDay in 1961, John Lewis was released after 40 days in Parchman prison. Two years later, he delivered a fiery speech at the March on Washington. In 1965, he led the demonstrations in Selma, which propelled passage of the Voting Rights Act. mississippitoday.org/2025/07/07/o...

The mass media and the some political powers that be are pumping and priming for former First Lady Obama to have a public mental breakdown. The insensitivity to the fact she has buried both of her parents (her mother's transition is fresh), and now claims of martial division is unfair.

Let us always remember he is a genocider, and that over one million Americans died from the coronavirus. Furthermore, millions are suffering from post-COVID conditions. The baby boomers are aging and need additional healthcare and resources.

The same energy #Americans employed to learn about Project 2025 needs to be exerted on the John R. Lewis #Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. Therein lies our answer to judicial activism and legislative backsliding. #SCOTUS

An unhealthy mood of global scale is on display today. It incubated not nine (9) years ago, but late August four hundred six (406) years ago when the weight of imperialism docked in what would become the American colonies. Presently, this country is facing a threat to popular sovereignty.

Mass organization and #voter registration, and divestiture is how a nation creates a titanic sociopolitical and economic conscience and develops a pathos to motivate an entire generation to respond to the call to action during the Second Civil Rights Movement.

The road to political and social power in a representative democracy is through the ballot box. With these activations and forms of civil disobedience, there must be mass voter registration and historic record shattering voter turnout each and every election.

Mass voter registration is a quiet and powerful rebellion. Ones presence at the polls is the loud voice of #hope for current and future generations. #GOTV #Vote
