Move The Crowd

In today’s episode, Move the Crowd, we look at what it means to move the crowd enough to have a seat at the table. 

Out of all the freedoms we hold dear, voting is the right that, in theory, gives us a seat at the table regarding the ability to influence how this country moves forward.  Unfortunately, African-Americans did not enjoy this rightfully until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  Before that, we were victims of discriminatory practices that prevented us from having a seat at the table and influencing the policy that would’ve most likely given us assess to the liberty the Constitution affords its citizens.

Today, it seems as if we are turning back the clock, and politicians are creating new voter laws and finding ways to discriminate through discouragement.   Our conversation reminds us why we need to continue to Move the Crowd and get and keep our seats at the table.
