If We Don’t Say Black at the Ballot Booth, What Will Happened?

     Over the last two weeks, I have focused on the reorganization of leadership in Broward County Public Schools. With 41 percent of Broward students identifying as Black, one would assume that Superintendent Cartwright would be actively looking for candidates to advocate for what is educationally sound for Black students. It is not enough to have Black teachers or even Black principals. While the work of Black teachers and principals is extremely valuable to the experience of Black children, there must be representation at the highest levels of the organization where policy decisions are being made and where decisions about how money to support schools and programs are spent.

Don’t Say Black Continues with Broward County Schools

     The new word/phrase is SME which stands for Subject Matter Expert. It is sad to say but I’m gonna say it- we are and have been taken advantage of from the first time our feet set foot on this soil of America.

         We are forever indebted because of God’s grace and mercies as He protected, provided for, nourished and put in place that which we needed to continue over these 51years.

         As we begin Black History Month (which we should be celebrating 365 days a year anyway, but that’s another story), let us begin to think critically, not just about Critical Race Theory (CRT), but about the unspoken theory of ‘Black Lives don’t matter anyhow’.

     We ring the bell for freedom, democracy, and majority rule. We sound the clarion call for freedom fighters as we urge Floridians to reach out to Mr. Ben Frazier and the Northside Coalition and pledge support to a campaign to make Governor Ron DeSantis accountable. We also ask lovers of freedom to call the offices of Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott and demand they vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. These three public servants, who have become “three blind mice” to equality for all, must be made accountable now.

A New Year’s Resolution that we all can gain from

     Merry Christmas to all and COVID can’t stop that.
