After Voting Rights Legislation Failed, I Thought About What Cora Might Say

L

ast week Black Americans received another of those undeserved slaps in the face by the political party we continue to show up for at the polls--a loyalty built over time beginning with the promises of the celebrated President Franklin Roosevelt’s 1920s New Deal. Roosevelt was a Democrat.

Then, like now, it did not take long to figure out that when it came to dealing equitably with the needs of Black people, the New Deal was not a Bad Deal for Black people, in truth, it was No Deal at all when it came to equal access to benefits offered through its programs.

Forty years in its wake (there is something about the number 40, in relation to America and Black people that is strangely eerie). So, 40 years after the New Deal there was the welcomed passage of the Civil Rights Bill and the Voting Rights Act (VRA)–thank you Democrats—that created an opening for Black progress. But, just like the 40 acres and a mule promised newly freed slaves and then reneged on by the federal government, the same thing happened more than 40 years later to voting rights when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the core provision of the voting legislation (Section 5) in 2013, and put the onus on Congress to make it right.

Had it not been so impactful on the lives and future of Black people, the idea of handing this responsibility off to a Republican led Congress in 2013—when members of the party remained infuriated and vindictive over the election of the nation’s first Black president, Barack Obama.

From the outset, Republican congressional leaders boldly announced their intent to make him a one term president and to block every piece of legislation he proposed. After initially having failed in that mission (Obama was re -elected and he passed the historic Affordable Care Act), for the Supreme Court to then expect these same Republican party leaders (who at that point had gained control over both houses of congress) to work toward reinvigorating the VRA, was preposterous.

For this and other reasons, whether

disappointed, dissatisfied, disillusioned, disheartened, or more, Black voter turnout pulled back in 2016. Debate continues over what part this played in the ultimate election of Donald Trump is unclear, what is clear, however, is when Black people don’t vote—it matters.

Beginning in 2017, the nation witnessed the rise, fall and ongoing threat of a racist leader striving to build an Aryan Nation.

This looming threat coupled with an out of control pandemic killing people of color in unprecedented numbers, and the continued indiscriminate murder of Blacks by rogue cops and vigilantes led Black voters back to the polls in 2020 where they were forced between a rock (Donald Trump) and a hard place (Joe Biden) who by comparison was served up as the great white hope despite his buddy relationships with segregationist or the lack of protection and respect he showed our Black sister Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings or his avid support (along with many Congressional Blacks) for passage of the 1984 Crime Bill. For Black people it was another of those election cycles where we knew we were voting for our children’s future and as flawed as Biden is—we had no other choice because another four years of Trump would most assuredly have proved disastrous for Blacks and other underserved communities. Following Trump’s actions since his 2020 defeat it is obvious that electing Biden, though not the ideal choice, was the right choice between the two candidates.

I know it’s only been a year and I would never disregard Biden’s accomplishments to date, yet in my estimation for the president to pretend he can sway Republicans and recalcitrant Democrats when he failed so miserably at this when he was Obama’s wing man, appeared to me as a hyped-up overpromise. He did not deliver in this regard for Obama and there was no reason to believe he would do any better when he became president despite his many promises. continued on page 18

Acclaimed Community Leader Jennifer Vaughn-Blakely Has Passed Breanna Reeves | Staff

O

n Monday, January 17, 2022, Jennifer Vaughn-Blakely, a pillar of the Inland Empire community, passed away. She was 73 years old.

While Vaughn-Blakely was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1964 at the age of 16, she made her way to San Bernardino to live with her uncle and planted roots in the community. From a young age, she was encouraged by her family to value education because of the opportunities education could provide.

Vaughn-Blakely graduated from San Bernardino High School and attended San Bernardino Valley College before transferring to California State University, San Bernardino where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in counseling. She described teaching as her niche.

“I can teach people how to be their own advocates. Groups and folks who have advocates do better, but if you don’t know you need an advocate and you don’t know how to be an advocate, you’re not even a voice in the wilderness. So, that’s my career in a nutshell,” Vaughn-Blakely said in a 2016 interview for an oral history project titled “The Bridges that Carried Us Over.”

Breaking barriers Vaughn-Blakely worked as the assistant city manager of Fontana for approximately 10 years before working as the assistant city manager of Riverside. According to Cheryl Brown, former assemblymember, Vaughn-Blakely was the first African-American person to be the city manager of Fontana. Brown explained that working with Vaughn-Blakely meant growing and moving the community forward.

“She was a brilliant mind and she helped people to be better,” said Brown.

Vaughn-Blakely made an impression on those she worked with, including Rose Mayes, Executive Director of the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, Inc. Mayes knew VaughnBlakely for more than 30 years. They first met when Vaughn-Blakely was working for the city

of Fontana.

“She interviewed me for a CDBG Contract and she said to me, ‘Whatever you do, please do not let us down,’” Mayes recalled in an email to Black Voice News/ IE Voice.

“She was firm and professional.”

Mayes said she admired Vaughn- Working with Jennifer VaughnBlakely’s great Blakely meant growing and moving the community forward, shared leadership skills, former California Assemblymember negotiating skills and Cheryl Brown (Image courtesy theievoice.com). strong work ethic.

“Her leadership made the difference. We must preserve her legacy, celebrate her accomplishments and remember the great contributions she leaves for future generations,” Mayes said.

Green House Golf Academy Hosts Heart and Soul Community Luncheon at PGA West Drew Naté | Staff

O

n Tuesday, January 18, 2022, the Greenhouse Golf Academy (GHGA) hosted their Heart and Soul Community Luncheon from 11 am to 2 pm at the PGA West in LaQuinta, CA. This year the Green House Golf Academy (GHGA) moved into a new phase, “Growing the Game of Golf Through Community Awareness and Opportunities for Diversity & Inclusion.”

The goal of this new direction is to ensure that the health and future of the game and industry of golf is represented by a more diverse population.

The luncheon event highlighted the community and the industry leaders who work to provide the needed support for many community organizations.

At the 2022 American Express Golf Championship, which has remained one of the most significant events in the Coachella Valley, the GHGA hosted a “special event” for approximately 50 to 60 special invited guests, where professional golfers played in a limited field event. The special event was created to serve as a platform to highlight selected worthy causes such as workforce development, diversity and inclusion within the golf industry.

GHGA continues working to grow the game of golf for individuals who otherwise may not get the opportunity and for people with different backgrounds looking to enter the game of golf.

Helping students thrive Through its Golf, Education and Direction program (GED) program, efforts are made to positively impact some of the most important areas in the lives of those individuals who are underserved. The GHGA fosters a relevant, coherent and engaging environment for underserved minority students while introducing them to the game of golf.

Students enrolled in the program receive golf skills development during golf clinics provided by a PGA professional. Students will also be mentored beginning with their initial enrollment into the GHGA which will continue throughout high school, college, and their professional

careers.

The student-mentor relationship consists of sportsmanship development, character training, and academic mapping towards completing high school and admission into college.

Educational activities complement and/or enhance the training that is needed to be both physically and academically competitive thus leading to the possibility of each student earning Green House Golf Academy a golf scholarship for college.

Community leaders express support for the program In an interview with Ron Oden

who is both the first African American and the first openly gay man to serve as mayor of Palm Springs. He spoke about the Green House Golf Academy and the work of its Founder and Executive Director Vincent W. Shack.

This year, American Express became the Greenhouse Golf Academy’s official title sponsor.

“American Express is looking for diversity and they are looking to be a part of things that are progressive.

That says a lot about this organization and about Vincent,” Oden said. “He is a remarkable young man, I am involved with the continued on page 17

Caregivers Across the Generations: A Community Conversation Drew Naté | Staff

O

n January 13, the California Department of Aging, St. Paul’s AME Church-San Bernardino, Ethnic Media Services (EMS) and Black Voice News hosted a community conversation around elder care, vaccines, COVID-19 and the Omicron Variant.

This discussion was part of an initiative by the California Department of Aging and EMS to support civic engagement efforts by ethnic news outlets aimed at uplifting community voices and deepening knowledge about the pandemic’s impact on elders and the importance of vaccines.

Speakers sharing in the community conversation included Dr. Donna Benton, director of the USC Family Caregiver Support Center; two longtime family caregivers, Ruth Rembert and the Rev. Noella Buchannan; and Kennedy King, who was the winner of the rap for vaccine contest organized by St. Paul’s AME Church-San Bernardino.

The discussion was facilitated by Cheryl Brown, Social Action Committee of St. Paul’s First AME Baptist Church-San Bernardino and former California State Assemblymember for the 47th District.

The hour-long virtual conversation revolved around how caregivers can take care of the older generation while also staying safe amidst the Omicron variant. During the early stages of the pandemic, caregivers were somewhat overlooked in terms of priority for both vaccines and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Today, with 4.5 million caregivers in the field across the state of California many have left the profession due to having to choose between caring for an aging loved one or their career. One of the main issues discussed during the community conversation was the limited accessibility family caregivers have to COVID-19 booster shots as well as the challenge of getting individuals to booster locations.

In recent weeks COVID-19 test kits have flown off drug store shelves due to limited supply and resellers like Amazon, CVS Health and Walgreens have even begun limiting the

number of at-home COVID-19 kits customers can purchase. Recently, Walmart even raised prices for some of its rapid tests from $14 to $20 for two. Such limited accessibility to at-home testing kits has presented a challenge for family caregivers.

Many family caregivers have struggled during the pandemic getting the older individuals to

testing locations and vaccination clinics as some deal with Dementia and Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Donna Benton, director of the USC Family Caregiver Support Center said during the discussion, “For caregivers it’s sometimes difficult if you’re caring for somebody who’s more homebound.” This presents a challenge for those with the inability to leave their homes.”

Another challenge is making sure we are all protected so we can stop the spread of COVID-19, which means young people who may not experience the same severity of the disease when infected, are mindful that they can infect others. As a community based organization, St. Paul’s has worked with the Department of Aging as they have been encouraging the younger generation to get vaccinated. The church recently hosted a contest for the best rap promoting vaccines.

messaging through music is the most effective way to reach people, especially young adults, who have the lowest vaccination rates.

On Tuesday in an effort to lower COVID-19 numbers, the Biden administration launched its website for Americans to request free at-home COVID-19 tests, through the website, COVIDTests.gov, where there is a link for “every home in the U.S.” to access an order form run by the U.S. Postal Service. People can order four at-home tests per residential address, to be delivered by the Postal Service.

Patient, Beware: Some States, Including CA, Still Pushing Ineffective Covid Antibody Treatments JoNel Aleccia | Kaiser Health News

A

s the omicron variant completes its sweep across the U.S., states with scarce supplies of monoclonal antibody therapies continue to use two treatments that federal health officials warn no longer work against the highly contagious version of the virus that causes covid-19. The antibody treatment now most recommended is sotrovimab from GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology, and it’s in short supply.

Use of the newly ineffective treatments produced by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly and Co. is highest in a dozen states.

They include several Southern states with some of the nation’s lowest vaccination rates, but also California, which ranks in the nation’s top 20 for fully vaccinated residents, a KHN analysis of federal data shows. Many hospitals and clinics are still infusing the costly treatments — Dr. Christian Ramers is an infectious disease specialist at Family Health Centers of San Diego, one of the few sites in the nation using lab screening often charging hundreds of dollars a session — that can tell whether patients are infected with the delta or omicron variant, then treating them accordingly. “Otherwise, you’re giving this false that public health officials now say are almost sense of security to a patient that they’re getting treatment,” Ramers says (Family Health Centers of San Diego). certainly useless. and an infectious disease specialist at Family hand.

Riverside Has Reported the First Infant Death Due

(Image source: health.clevelandclinic.org)

Breanna Reeves | Staff

A

s California approaches the anniversary of the first case of COVID-19 the state on January 26, 2020, approximately two years ago, the state is experiencing a sharp increase in cases, particularly among schoolaged children.

The California Department of Public Health reported more than 860,000 cases of COVID-19 among children, with children between zero to 17 accounting for 17.4 percent of COVID-19 cases.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hospitalization rates have increased across the U.S. for children younger than four years of age who are not eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky noted that current pediatric hospitalizations in the U.S.

are at the highest rate compared to any prior point during the pandemic.

“Sadly, we are seeing the rates of hospitalizations increasing for children zero to four, children who are not yet currently eligible for COVID-19 vaccination,” said Dr. Walensky, during a media briefing on January 7. “We are still learning more about the severity of Omicron in children, and whether these increases we are seeing in hospitalization reflect a greater burden of disease in the community or the lower rates of vaccination for these children under age 18.”

First infant death as cases among children and youth rise On January 13, Riverside County reported the first infant death due to COVID-19, the

10 VOICE | JANUARY 27, 2022 | theievoice.com

first infant death in the county. Previously, a 4-year-old child had been the youngest to die as a result of the virus.

“Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the parents, family, and others who are impacted by this tragedy,” said Dr. Geoffrey Leung, public health officer for Riverside County, in a statement. “This loss reminds us that this virus does not discriminate between the young and old.”

In Riverside, cases among those ages zero to 17 are at 71,031. On January 19, Riverside University Health System Department of Public Health reported 4,780 cases among those zero to 17, a sharp increase in cases for that age group in the last month.

Vaccination rates remain lowest in Riverside County among children five to 11,

with 11.5 percent fully vaccinated. Vaccination rates are higher for those 12 and up with 48.6 percent fully vaccinated and 54.4 percent among children ages 16 to 17.

In-person instruction partly to blame Dr. Althea Daniel, a Pediatric Physician at Loma Linda University Health, partially attributes the increase in cases among children to the return of in-person instruction. In Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, students are not required to be vaccinated to attend class. Students are encouraged to selfscreen for COVID-19 at home, but testing is offered throughout the counties for students.

In San Bernardino County, 16.3 percent of children ages five to 11 are partially vaccinated and 51.8 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 17 are vaccinated. Low vaccination rates among young children may be attributed to vaccine hesitancy surrounding the newly approved authorization for children five to 11.

For parents who are hesitant to vaccinate their children, Dr. Daniel recommends that parents speak to medical doctors they trust, such as their child’s doctor, regarding any

According to Riverside County public health officer Dr. Geoffrey Leung the virus does not discriminate between young and old (Image source:/healthforce.ucsf.edu)

questions they have about the vaccine. As new variants like Omicron continue to spread, new studies and information are being released.

“None of the physicians who are practicing right now has ever lived through a pandemic.

So, we’re pretty much going with what the experts think and believe at the time,” said Dr. Daniel. “What we believe now is a little different from what we believed a year-and-a-

half ago.”

Dr. Daniel explained that infectious disease experts have been good about putting out new information as they learn new information regarding the virus. The CDC recently released updated guidelines for K-12 students regarding safety against the virus such as encouraging universal indoor masking for children ages two and older.

As Biden Struggles, Harris Touts California Wildfire Aid

Harris’ visit comes at a time when President Joe Biden’s approval rating is sliding, Democrats are at risk of losing control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections and Harris continues to struggle to define her role in the administration (Image source: wh.gov).

A

fter a difficult first year in office, Vice President Kamala Harris enjoyed a homecoming of sorts Friday, taking a helicopter tour in Southern California mountains to highlight new funding for federal wildfire programs.

She was joined by Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Sen. Alex Padilla — both Harris' friends and fellow Democrats — on a day when they inspected wildfire damage from the sky, visited a federal fire station where they heard about the increasing risk of destructive blazes and outlined new spending aimed at reducing the risk of wildfires and dealing with their aftermath.

She also announced $600 million in disaster relief funding for the U.S. Forest Service in California.

In brief remarks, the vice president hailed the work of firefighters and credited collaboration between governments "unencumbered by politics," an apparent reference to past friction between heavily Democratic California and the Trump administration.

She said the government is "putting the resources where they are needed" in the battle against fires and climate change.

The day was not entirely without political drama. A sprinkle of protesters joined onlooking along the motorcade's route to the fire station, where at the entrance a lone protester waved a U.S. flag and shouted a derogatory slogan about Biden.

Harris' first year in office was framed by the pandemic, a fruitless battle over voting rights legislation and an immigration crisis at the border. The trip to her home state gave Harris a chance to revel in hearty applause. She and the Biden administration were praised repeatedly for their direction on wildfires and the climate.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack called her leadership "unmatched."

Harris' visit comes at a time when President Joe Biden's approval rating is

sliding, Democrats are at risk of losing control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections and Harris continues to struggle to define her role in the administration.

Her office highlighted recent legislation that provided $1 billion to create plans to help defend communities from wildfires. There also is $650 million for rehabilitation efforts for burned areas, and nearly $2.4 billion for hazardous fuels management.

Earlier this week, the Biden administration said it will expand efforts to fight wildfires by thinning forests around "hot spots" where nature and neighborhoods collide.

As climate change dries out the U.S. West, administration officials said they have crafted a $50 billion plan to more than double the use of controlled fires and logging to reduce trees and other vegetation that serves as tinder in the most atrisk areas. Only some of the work has funding so far.

Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of a dozen California lawmakers said they will push to add more than 1,100 new professional wildland firefighters amid the recent epic wildfire seasons, with a dwindling pool of inmates to help fight the blazes.

The state has had historic wildfire seasons in recent years, including last year when for the first time two massive fires crossed the rocky bastion of the Sierra Nevada, with one of them threatening tourist destinations along Lake Tahoe.

Of the 10 largest wildfires in the state's recorded history, eight were within the last five years.

The fire sieges have firefighters who work for the state's firefighting agency working as much as 40 days in a row, increasing burnout and mental health issues, said the lawmakers and the union representing wildland firefighters.

San Bernardino City Councilmember Kimberly Calvin Appointed to California Cities Policy Committee Phyllis Kimber Wilcox | Staff

K

imberly Calvin, a community advocate, founder and Executive Director of Akoma Unity Center and Councilmember who represents the city of San Bernardino’s Sixth Ward has been appointed to the League of California Cities Community Services Policy Committee.

Calvin’s appointment was effective January 3rd and her service on the committee will extend through Spring of 2023.

The committee is a group of city officials from various municipalities from across California who meet to debate and advocate for policies they feel will be most beneficial for their constituencies.

The collaboration provides a sense of legislative continuity to city governments across the state.

Their mission is “to expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians."

Calvin's public service and advocacy has taken many forms. In addition to her work through Akoma Unity Center which creates after school and summer programs for at-risk youth, she has

worked as a community liaison and advocate for the homeless in the city of San Bernardino. Active in the PTA, Calvin works with San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) and the City of San Bernardino Department of Parks and Recreation.

“We are the largest city in the county,“ said City Manager Rob Field commenting on Calvin’s appointment.“We need to have a seat at the table when discussions take place in Sacramento that could affect our residents. Councilmember Calvin will do an excellent job representing the city of San Bernardino.”

San Bernardino has a demographically diverse population of more than 214,700 residents.

“I am honored to serve the people of San Bernardino on this policy committee, '' said Calvin reflecting on her appointment to the California Cities Policy Committee. “We have worked very hard to have a greater voice in California, crafting policies on issues that directly impact us.”

Patient, Beware, continued from page 9

shipments of the Regeneron and Lilly treatments on Dec. 23, after laboratory tests showed they were less effective against the surging omicron variant than the delta variant. But the Biden administration resumed shipments on Dec. 31, after complaints from DeSantis and some doctors that those therapies could still help people in places where the delta variant persisted.

Regeneron itself has said its antibody treatments are ineffective against the omicron variant. It contains more than 30 mutations in the virus’s spike protein, which makes the variant better at dodging the monoclonal antibody treatments.

“It’s really not justified at this point unless there’s some other underlying secondary gain, political pressure, or perhaps the providers are truly not in touch with the reality of the variant proportions,” Ramers said.

Earlier this month, HHS officials indicated that shipments of the three monoclonal

antibody treatments would continue through Jan. 31, despite the growing proportion of omicron cases. A department spokesperson on background said the agency would continue to assess “any impacts to covid-19’s therapeutic allocations.”

Monoclonal antibody treatments are labbased molecules that mimic the body’s immune response to infection. They are most often given through IV infusion, though some can be delivered with an injection. The federal government has agreed to purchase millions of doses of the Regeneron and Lilly products at a cost of about $2,100 per dose. The medicines are free to consumers, though hospitals and clinics do charge fees for administering the drugs and monitoring patients during the process.

Other treatments expected to be effective against omicron in high-risk, non-hospitalized patients include AstraZeneca’s Evusheld, a long-acting injectable monoclonal antibody for

14 VOICE | JANUARY 27, 2022 | theievoice.com

immunocompromised people, and a three-day infusion of Gilead Sciences’ remdesivir, which is approved by the FDA. New oral antiviral pills also are expected to be effective, although they, too, remain in short supply.

Providers in several states that have continued to use the Regeneron and Lilly products have offered varied reasons. Some said they believed delta infections continued to circulate locally; others said they felt desperate to try something.

Officials in Michigan, which used more than 5,800 doses of the Regeneron and Lilly products during the most recent two weeks, and California, which used more than 3,400, have allowed health care providers to use their clinical judgment about which treatment to prescribe.

Thomas Dobbs called for an end to the use of the treatments.

“We will be recommending that clinicians and physicians do not use these products right now based on the distribution of omicron vs. delta,” he said during a recent press conference.

At Ramers’ clinic in San Diego, care providers have been dispensing scarce doses of the monoclonal antibody treatments only when they’re confident they’ll help. That has meant sending batches of positive PCR tests to a laboratory in nearby Irvine, where they are screened to see whether one of three target genes is not detected, a known marker for an omicron infection.

Patients infected with the delta variant were able to be treated with REGEN-COV, the Regeneron product, preserving sotrovimab for the growing number of omicron cases, said Pauline Lucatero, the clinic’s director of nursing.

“Looking into my patients’ eyes and seeing fear, just fear, all I could tell them is we believe this treatment works and we’re going to do everything we can to save as many people as we can,” she said.

After Voting, continued from page 3

What American Democracy Allows To date, Biden’s agenda has not unfolded as planned—no criminal justice reform—no immigration reform—and importantly, no voting rights legislation, the foundation on which democracy rests. But he did strike a deal for infrastructure—certainly something warranted, necessary and of course a priority for Republicans and recalcitrant Democrats but not at the top of the list for Black and Brown voters.

Biden even broke a promise to the progressive caucus related to the passage of Build Back Better filled with relief for issues of importance for these constituencies to get them to move on infrastructure.

Biden spent countless hours meeting with moderate democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. How many hours did he spend with progressive legislators? How many hours did he meet with members of the Black Caucus, the Latino Caucus?

What is so utterly gross and disturbing about Biden’s pandering to Manchin specifically (Sinema has her own issues) is that Manchin is a multi-millionaire from a state where the total population is 1.79 million compared to 39.5 mil in CA for example. California’s population alone is equivalent to more than 23 West Virginia's.

There is something wrong with a democratic system where one man elected by .5% of the nation’s population can wield such power considering Manchin was elected in 2018 with a fraction of that .5%. That year in a three person race Manchin was reelected by less than 50% of the state’s voters. His state has a poverty rate hovering around 16%, a median income of $26,354 yet only about five percent of West Virginia’s population are people of color.

So, American democracy allows for one, marginally elected Senator to strut around like he’s “King of the Stardust Ballroom” putting the future of our kids at risk in the process. The truth of it all is appalling—but then again, this is the nature of American democracy.

When tracing my family roots, I met a woman named Cora. I don’t know much about her or where she was from other than in the 1790s, she was gifted by her owner to his son who moved her from North Carolina to settle in Tennessee.

She, her children, and her children’s children

labored on that plantation until freedom came.

Sometimes it is humbling for me to realize I am only the third generation on this branch of my family tree to be born free.

Staying Committed to the Struggle At times like this when Blacks are once again at risk of losing the one tool that gives us an opportunity to build a better life for ourselves and our progeny. I, like I am sure many others, sometimes feel weary in the continuing quest for full citizenship for Black people that seems unending–afterall, Republican leader Mitch McConnell just reminded usagain the other day that they still do not see Black people as citizens–he called it an unintentional error, I call it a Freudian slip.

I know although we may be discouraged, we must remain committed to this struggle in whatever way we can. I imagine what my greatgreat-great grandmother Cora might advise me and others about this dilemma. I imagine she would say something like… ‘Don’t ever give up…

If you have to stand in line for hours to vote— then stand. If you must show identification to vote—then find a way to get identification, show it, and vote. If you get purged from the voting rolls—Reregister and then vote. If they refuse to pass Voting Rights legislation, then vote them out of office or vote and elect more representatives to make their resistance mute.

No matter what obstacles they put in your way— make a way and overcome it.’

In the final analysis, voting is the only way forward. It is the only way to put people in place to establish the laws to protect our access to the ballot.

Cora would probably remind me that my today is far better than her yesterday and through perseverance and determination to secure and maintain the franchise, tomorrow will be better still for our great-great-great grandchildren.

We owe a debt to past generations to persevere in this struggle. We have an obligation to pay it forward.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.
