WBFO s Thomas O Neil-White reports.
Former County Legislator and City Councilmember Betty Jean Grant says Black political unity in the county has slowly crumbled since she began her political career in the 1990’s.
“I’ve seen this community become less united than it was then,” Grant. “The goal of ours, of those of us who were in politics so many years ago was to have a unified community that spoke with one voice.”
She cites the remarkable organizing that went on in Georgia, ahead of the Presidential election and Senate runoffs, which saw the red state flip to blue, as the power of unification.
