    The 19th Amendment Did Not Liberate Black women 

    byAllison Gaines

    “The heroes a society accepts say a lot about the values they share. The original American heroes, the Founding fathers, were white men who never regarded Black people or women equally. Despite their violent, sexist, and racist ideology, Americans continue to put these men on pedestals, capitulating to their determination to commit genocide against Indigenous people and exalting them despite their embrace of slavery

    These men are not heroes to Black people, and they should not be heroes to many Americans. Turning a blind eye to tyranny is not chivalrous; it’s obscene.

    37y after Soujourner Truth died, the 19th Amendment passed but left Black women behind.

    They simply refused to fight for Black women’s rights as if they were unqualified to be women.“

    Remembering the Victims of the Waffle House Shooting

    On Sunday, April 22, a gunman with an assault-type rifle opened fire at a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, killing four people. Let’s take a look at the lives lost in the shooting:

    DeEbony Groves, 21, was a senior at Belmont University in Nashville and part of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Classmates and friends have remembered her as a brilliant student and star athlete.

    Akilah DaSilva, 23, was a music video producer and rap artist, known as “Natrix Dream” on his SoundCloud and YouTube accounts. He “was a real visionary and he had a brighter future than most people could imagine,” according to Michael McDonald, a close friend of DaSilva.

    Taurean Sanderlin, 29, was a Waffle House employee shot outside on his break from work. He worked for the chain for roughly five years. He was a cook and known as “T” by Waffle House regulars.

    Joe Perez, 20, worked as a subcontractor in Nashville. He was the youngest child in his family. His mother said on Facebook of her son, “Please say a prayer for my family for today is the hardest day of my life. Me, my husband and sons are broken right now with this loss. Our lives are shattered.”

    Rest In Peace to the four victims of the Waffle House massacre. You will be remembered and loved.
