Stacey Abrams. Barbara Jordan. Martin Luther Ling Jr.

When marginalized groups finally gained access to the ballot, it took time for them to organize around opposition to the specific forms of discrimination and mistreatment that continued to plague them – and longer still for political parties and candidates to respond to such activism. Stacey Abrams.

If the society today allows wrongs to go unchallenged, the impression is created that those wrongs have the approval of the majority. Barbara Jordan.

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right. Martin Luther King Jr.
