This week I'm talking about voter suppression and while I know that my own story of voter suppression means that it can happy to any one that is considered lower class too, but it happens disproportionately to Black people and to that mostly black men!  With the election coming just around the corner we all need to be aware of how difficult it is for a large amount of people in this country to vote and how much your vote actually accounts for a lot more than just yourself. 

I talk about the book The Color of Law written by Richard Rothstein.  I didn't actually read this book yet Ben my husband did.  It is the next book on my list, but it a great way to learn more about the ways this country has tried and to a great level succeeded at suppressing black votes.

Keep this in mind when thinking about voting this year!  Are you registered to vote?  Better get to it!! And, if you live in a state where voting by mail in a real option then you should go to vote.org to get everything worked out!  Go! Go right now you can read the rest of this later!

You need to speak to me?
