On this day in 1955, Emmett Till was brutally lynched in Mississippi. He was only 14-years-old, and his life was cut short because of the color of his skin. We must remember that heartbreak and keep pushing for a more just world. Let’s pass the Victims of Lynching Act.pic.twitter.com/m4Mt5GGSxL

  I’ll never forget having—as a Canadian—moved to Tennessee learning about sundown towns. It scared and confused me.

  With Chris & other self righteous Democrats, they STILL think the KKK switched over to the Rep party. A Sen and a Rep doing so shows desperation of Dems to escape their own makings. Dems are STILL the party of the Klan & frail civil rights efforts prove it !
