Angela Davis acquitted 1972 — spent five decades building abolition's intellectual infrastructure. Sylvester in gowns on national TV 1979 — never explained himself once, left his estate to AIDS organizations. Barbara Jordan before the Judiciary Committee 1974 — 285 bills before she reached Washington. None of them asked if the room was ready.

There is no obstacle in the path of young people who are poor or members of minority groups that hard work and preparation cannot cure.

I live in #BarbaraJordan's district, #Texas' 18th Congressional district.
We've had excellent representation, including #MickeyLeland and #SheilaJacksonLee
#SylvesterTurner was not chosen by the voters, due to the late Congresswoman's death a year ago today, and the need to name a candidate before 15 Aug 2024. The chairs would rather the voters make the choice, and Mayor Turner vowed to serve one term. This prevented anyone from becoming an encumbent.

Thank you so much. I am deeply moved.
A powerful account of a life well lived. We all owe to people like her, we all must act like her.

We must exchange the philosophy of excuse -- what I am is beyond my control -- for the philosophy of responsibility.

I live a day at a time. Each day I look for a kernel of excitement. In the morning I say: "What is my exciting thing for today?" Then, I do the day. Don't ask me about tomorrow.

I'm proud to support #AmandaEdwards to be my next Congresswoman.
#TX18 has had amazing congresswomen representing us in #Washington. Women whose names are recognized both nationally, and internationally. #BarbaraJordan. #SheilaJacksonLee. Women who were /in/ the #community, and /of/ the community.
Those boots will be a challenge to fill. Amanda is up to the challenge. Whether serving in an elected position on the Houston City Council, or simply as a member of the community, If you or someone you know needs access to resources, Amanda is always an email or phone call away.
This is the kind of #representation we deserve.
When a friend of mine came off papers after a #felony conviction, and was struggling to find work, I sent an email to Amanda asking about resources. Because, although I've lived in the #Houston metro area for over thirty years, I've only lived in actual Houston for the last five. When my family was struggling, I looked to Harris County resources. Not only did Amanda reply to my ema, she gave me names and contact information for actual humans.
I'm not anyone particularly special... and that's kinda my point.

My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total, and I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminuation, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution. It is reason and not passion which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.
