Certainly taken a turn backwards. Am i depressed . No. I am energized to move forward and to be sure to see the gains that we have encountered and had to come to us, that we have had to work so hard for, are not lost. So i do ask you, one of our next steps, we created a framework, but there is so much work to be done. Many of our civil rights leaders, including my husband and dr.

But right now at this nfl combine, i dont think youre going to see that. Maybe next year or the following year we feel like were going to see our jackie robinson, our pioneer for gay rights and equality.

The most conspicuous example of this week being the ongoing drama in georgia where civil Rights Groups have sued secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate kemp that his office has blocked tens of thousands of mostly black residents from registering. Take a listen to kemps democratic opponent, stacy abrams, today on nbcs meet the press. We know this is a flawed system that has a disproportionate effect on people of color.
