Of the right for women to vote. That was granted for only white women. Africanamerican and many asian and latinex women were barred from citizenship and voting. Black men and women were blocked from voting by racist local laws until the Voting Rights act of 1965. The u. S. Womens suffrage movement, the way its taught and understood and characterized to this day often erases the prominent role of black women. Women like beabolitionists sojournsojour sojourner truth. And women like the sisters of delta sigma theta, an early black sorority founded at howard university. They ban tousished to a segrega section when they joined the march, something ida refused to do, instead marching with the white women. This boiled down to the right to participate as organizers and citizens, as voters and political candidates continues today under a president who is refusing to fund the post office in what looks like a clear attempt to steal this election. But a remarkable shift occurred this week when a w
Do your analysis. You are brilliant at it when you balance work and life. What you make of the additional pressures is up to you. All of the challenges are very real. You may have more, you may have less, we each have our own. How we deal with them is a lens through our reality. Look at us now, laura, what is the lens . We have a president telling us were doing okay. I dont know what color the sky is in his world. There is no metric that is good for us, but this is what he is doing to define his own reality. This is his perspective on it because its what benefits him. We have a choice as well about what our perspective will be, and we all know were not doing well. We know people like you and i, we are in a hard way with our kids. Are you kidding . Ive got my kids looking at me asking when they can go back to school, when they can see their grandparents, why cant we hug people . I didnt land yesterday in the gulf of mexico. Weve been here for the last couple of months, right . And weve
In full site, people are yelling this guy just shot someone. That person does not get thrown to the ground or does not get beaten up or get shot or does not end up losing his life and hes not in the hospital. Really . You are saying no one wants the guy to get shot. Do you think it is coincidence . What did you expect . For people to be out in the streets like this, are you surprise that this young man had to take matter into his own hands . Thats law and order. As reflected by the mouthpiece for the party of trump. Thats the message to america. They think this is okay. Only law and order looks like you. If thats what you mean by law and order, looks like you. What they are saying is the people who had the right to be out on the street at that hour looks like them. Thats what their actions are showing. They must be a good person on our side because they look like us. Thats what they are saying. Because if the person did not look like you, what does your mind go . Where do your actions
Predicted that as we got closer to november, and went through what is bound to be its contentious result, that there would be violence. Last night in portland, one person shot dead as supporters of President Trump and black lives matter protesters clashed in the streets. Authorities are still investigating in late breaking news this afternoon. Democratic president ial nominee joe biden issued a statement on the violence exclusively to nbc news. It reads, in part, i condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by any one whether on the left or the right. And i challenge donald trump to do the same, end of quote. Just moments ago, the mayor of portland had this message to the president. Do you seriously wonder, mr. President , why this is the first time in decades that america has seen this level of violence . Its you who have created the hate and the division. Its you who have not found a way to say the names of black People Killed by police officers, even as pe
Hurricane laura. There is heavy damage along the gulf coast, where the storm made landfall as a category 4. But search and rescue operations have just been suspended. The halt was caused by a plant fire that has spawned a chemical cloud right along interstate 10. Youre looking at that image. Were going to go live to louisiana in just a moment. We expect to see President Trump this afternoon as well. He will visit fema headquarters to be briefed on the storm response. And later, he is going to blur the lines between campaigning and governing again as he accepts his partys nomination for another term from the lawn of the white house. If you believe Jared Kushner, mr. Trump will offer a hopeful vision of america. But leaked excerpts of the speech sound less hopeful. Politico reports the president will unload on joe biden in a blistering convention speech. He will claim that he has spent his first term reversing joe bidens damage. All of this against the backdrop of extreme unrest that is
