Sharon 🤦🏾♀️ Persists on Nostr: When I was born, the Voting Rights Act didn’t exist yet & white & black Freedom ...
When I was born, the Voting Rights Act didn’t exist yet & white & black Freedom Riders were being assassinated in the South. Little black girls were being killed in Alabama church bombings. Never could I have imagined than in only 60 years, the Supreme Court would make the hard-won Voting Rights Act no longer enforceable. That I’d see federal voting rights for blacks and abortion rights (won in 1973) for women rolled back after barely a generation. I am so disgusted by my country. #votingrights
