The #ReelsBrothers, two Black men in #NorthCarolina, were imprisoned on #ThisDayInHistory in 2011 for contempt because they refused to leave their homes. The family land, gained after the #CivilWar, was seized under #JimCrow-era laws that had cut Black land ownership 90% by 1997.

The cases included a lynch mob before the suspects had been indicted, all-white juries, rushed trials, and disruptive mobs. It is commonly cited as an example of a legal injustice in the United States legal system.

This was the end of a series of demonstrations calling on segregationist Gov. George Wallace and other state authorities to allow people of color to register to vote. In this speech, King shared his belief that the racist power structure that maintained the Jim Crow era was coming to an end. He said, “evil is choking to death in the dusty roads and streets of this state. So I stand before you this afternoon with the conviction that segregation is on its deathbed in Alabama, and the only thing uncertain about it is how costly the segregationists and Wallace will make the funeral.”

The Constitution limited voting to landed white males -6% of the population. The 13th,14th,&15th,&19th Amendments changed that.
Jim Crow laws are how felons (black men) lost their right to vote. 13% of the population is black >50% have felonies!

In the US context, a #PollTax is a fee charged for voting. #ThisDayInHistory in 1966 was another win against #JimCrow, as SCOTUS abolished the last poll taxes by outlawing them for state & local elections. They had been widely used to disenfranchise impoverished & Black citizens.

The Contradictions at the Heart of the American Revolution -Part XX — The Grover Cleveland Administration (First Term): Conservatism in the Gilded Age and the Consolidation of a New Inequality Grover Cleveland's first term (1885-1889) marked a transition in American politics, emphasizing limited government amid the challenges of industrial capitalism and Jim Crow. His conservative reforms clashed with rising corporate power and racial inequalities. Cleveland's administration highlighted contradictions in a democracy striving for equality while grappling with new social hierarchies.

I concur with the points made in this video.
PLEASE take action to block this bill from passing.
This is just ANOTHER way to steal from Native Americans and First Peoples.
