Just watched the nomination process for the Vice President. Not as exciting as the selection of the presidential nominee, but very quick.

She also introduced us to the remaining members of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party Members, who worked alongside Hamer in their work … Continue reading DNC with Maya Angelou
