      a sanitized view of slavery

      Fire Manny Diaz!

       Under his watch, new standards for African American history were adopted that are an insult to historical accuracy and mislead students.  Slavery is abhorrent; there has never been any benefit to the enslaved, only unspeakable horrors.

      Celebrating the Life and Legacy of the Late John R. Lewis

      He Fought So You Could Vote

      "Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society.

      You must use it because it is not guaranteed.

      You can lose it." - John Lewis, 1940-2020
