The Negro Voter (1964)

"In 1944, when the "whites only" primaries in the South were abolished, American Negroes began to vote in large numbers for the first time. Now [1964], two decades later, the Negro vote is becoming an important element in local, state, and national elections. The questions that arise in this 1964 Presidential election year are: How will the Negro vote? Will he go Democratic or Republican? What does the Negro vote want? Negro voting influence, however, varies with the regions of the country"

... that's what our demonym was at the time. some people still use it today to refer to themselves separate from African and Caribbean immigrants.

[@biller2000]

There is no such thing as a Black leader. All Black people’s leaders are all White.
All Black people’s so called leaders are Black spokespersons. I am a Black Spokesperson, because I am a Black person who is currently speaking. A can be silenced by the White Supremacists at anytime. This is why our only reason for breathing, our only need for existence should be to replace White Supremacy (Racism) with a true system of justice.
