    The beginning of the speech was my favorite part of the speech and it moved my soul!
    I’ve been walking around the house shouting “Here they come y’all!”

      @@kelvindavis7806 I am a baby boomer who lived in the southeast and on the northeast coast. There are a lot of HBCUs located in those area. So a lot of the churches and civil rights organizations were involved with HBCUs. This meant a lot of pastors and civil rights leaders spoke at the commencements. This was doing the 60s, 70s and early 80s when I was involved. There was no social media or internet to record and stream these speeches, especially by those who were not nationally well known.

All the ladies were fanning themselves, and some were dancing, and other's were falling out under the power of the Holy Ghost! The men were wiping their foreheads crying out call and response a loud, Amen! Thank you, Jesus! Black colleges and communities are having a revival and revitalized by our "young 🦁 lions" the Lord promised to send us so long ago. Good job! ⚡️

      @@ladyk7675 As Black people we cannot allow our votes to be wasted. We have to know the facts about how our government works and what our leaders are or are not contributing to the country. It is the job of the Congress to develop and pass laws to benefit the country. Yes prices are high for food and gas, but that is because of price gouging rich people. We are losing rights instead of gaining them. I am a senior citizen who marched and did sit-ins during the civil rights movement for the right to vote, housing equality, equal pay, education and job opportunities, the right to control our bodies for my children and others. I refuse to allow a constantly vocal racist, non-empathetic, non-intelligent person be in-charge of this country. Unfortunately we are at the point that we need to choose the lesser of two evils and there have been other times during my life I had to make that decision. Investigate, Let the facts and not the rhetoric help you make an informed decision. Also remember to vote now because if the wrong person and political party controls the country, that right may also disappear, just like other rights we no longer have.
