WHEN HALEY SAYS AMERICA ISNT RACIST. I SAY SHE SHOULD READ #EJI.

However, immediately upon Mr. Revels’s arrival in Washington, Southern white politicians still committed to the ideas of white supremacy and racial hierarchy were determined to block his seating to the U.S. Congress. They declared his election null and void, asserting various dubious objections, including a claim that Mr. Revels was ineligible for the Senate because—like all Black Americans—he was not a U.S. citizen until the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Hiram Revels was eventually seated in the Senate on February 25, 1870, after a Senate vote of 48 to 8. However, the attempt to prevent Mr. Revels from taking his rightful place in office was an early illustration of the deeply rooted racial animus and belief in inequality that remained in the South and in the nation that would continue to terrorize and plague Black people for generations—especially after federal protection was withdrawn.

Listened to Bryan Stevenson today at the Equal Justice Initiative. He talked about the importance of facing hard truths to enact #restorativejustice . We have to embrace our #history to move forward. “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.”#eji #equaljusticeinitiative #Montgomery
