Our People Died, So We Could Vote

Just as the Black community impacts culture, it continues to be a force during elections. 

According to Pew Research Center, there are 34,450,000 eligible Black voters in the U.S. - 14% of all eligible voters. The bulk of those voters live in the south (We're talking to you, Texas, Georgia, and Florida). Nowhere are Black voters more critical than in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina where races are so close that they have been decided by a few thousand votes.

While some states try to roll back voting rights and protections, Black voters continue to cast ballots to elect federal, state, and local officials who handle policies that directly impact their communities.
