She grew up IN the Korean War that my Grandfather (Harabeoji) fought in & my (Halmeoni) Grandmother nursed & was a journalist in. My mom came to America July 12, 1978 & became a US Citizen in 1980 right in time to vote the very first time! She has voted every election ever since! #𝟏- My Great Great Great Grandma Adeline was a slave until the age of 15. NEVER got to vote. #𝟐- Great Great Grandma Maggie, was 68 years old when she PAID for & cast her first & ONLY Presidential Vote in 1968 (she died in 1970) & along with her daughter, my great grandma Clotee #𝟑 . They were a few of the first people to vote in Hattiesburg Mississippi but not without death threats/fear tactics & had to be escorted by armored guards in order to do so. #𝟒- My Grandma Retha Bell was the first of them all to vote freely & safely at the age of 40. ME? I voted the 1st time at the age of 18 in 1996 & HAVE EVERY election since!. My dad entered the US Army at 18 & fought in the Vietnam War… he has proudly served this Country who hasn’t always been kind or fair to him, yet he VOTES EVERY ELECTION & in between! These generations of Black women (& my daddy) with DEEP ROOTS in slavery & Jim Crow in the Deep South, have defeated so many odds & exercised their American rights to vote as soon as they were able to. People bred from the country understand the deeper roots of racism & the tribulations people like Trump & his supporters have caused & those city / privileged bred black folks may not , so I don’t fully condemn those that are lost & uneducated in why their support for the opposition is hurtful… but me?? My KINFOLK? We’re from the south & my mom is an immigrant / US citizen ! My ancestors were slaves who had no choice in anything. So how we move in life is different PERIOD. We are only one generation away from the atrocity that has unfortunately resurfaced! We cannot go backwards! Please VOTE! 🙏🏾 #𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐳𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #𝐈𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 #𝐖𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 #𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 ✊🏾 #𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 🫶🏽

My dad entered the US Army at 18 & fought in the Vietnam War… he has proudly served this Country who hasn’t always been kind or fair to him, yet he VOTES EVERY ELECTION & in between! These generations of Black women (& my daddy) with DEEP ROOTS in slavery & Jim Crow in the Deep South, have defeated so many odds & exercised their American rights to vote as soon as they were able to. People bred from the country understand the deeper roots of racism & the tribulations people like Trump & his supporters have caused & those city / privileged bred black folks may not , so I don’t fully condemn those that are lost & uneducated in why their support for the opposition is hurtful… but me?? My KINFOLK? We’re from the south & my mom is an immigrant / US citizen ! My ancestors were slaves who had no choice in anything. So how we move in life is different PERIOD. We are only one generation away from the atrocity that has unfortunately resurfaced! We cannot go backwards! Please VOTE! 🙏🏾 #𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐳𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #𝐈𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 #𝐖𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 #𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 ✊🏾 #𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 🫶🏽
