The biggest seat of all was just yanked away by millions of voters who thought a corrupt convicted white felon lacking integrity, honesty, and any concept of personal morality would be a better president than a well-educated, accomplished, decent black woman.

In it he spoke of the commitment of the community of black leaders and how difficult, but necessary, it has been to maintain momentum and faith that change can be accomplished, especially after events such as MLK’s murder. I don’t know that I would have the same fortitude because right now I’m totally demoralized and wondering if we will still have any form of democracy left and indeed if Trump will even leave if he’s still sentient and alive in 2028.
