Well - Well - Well - Biden - Harris 2020

 

I'm hyped about this political ticket for many reasons. I'll just state two. First, it is historic the nature of a selection that reflects the political, social, economic, educational, and cultural diversity of the country. One hundred years ago the Women's Suffragette Movement had black women, particularly from the sorority group, the AKA's, vigorously supported the platform yet were denied equal participation or consideration.

Second is hearing the crack of the glass ceiling in regards to the first nomination of a biracial, Asian-American and African-American woman to the vice presidential position. Fifty-two years years ago Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman to serve in Congress. In 1972, Congresswoman Chisholm through her hat into the ring for a presidential run. The point of her candidacy was to expand the boundaries of what was possible for all women.

It's 2020, and now there are further opportunities to consider a wider range of possibilities.
