FBI Director Christopher Wray has testified under oath to Congress after the January 6th report. Wray said that things are complicated in terms of the warnings. Rep. Gaetz questions FBI Director when Gaetz has a federal investigation against him. The events of 1/6 is not completely known at this moment. We know many events before, during, and after the insurrection. Yet, question still remain about the federal response, who are involved, and if some far right wing political leaders are complicit in the insurrection. Wray didn't answer questions on specific investigations like on Rudy Giuliani. Members of the Three Percenters, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the Qanon cultists, and other Trump supporters were charged with being involved in the 1/6 insurrection. These terrorists being charged should be convicted. The Capitol police told their testimonies of being cursed at and called racial epithets by these violent criminals. The person who agitated the crowd to invade the U.S. Capitol was Donald Trump. Trump is one of the worst Presidents in American history because of his actions. His actions represent the worst in our society.
Representative Val Demings is now running for the U.S. Senate. She is running against Marco Rubio. Val Demings has the experience, the prestige, and the determination to be a great Senator. Marco Rubio has been a person who compromised so much to Donald Trump that he is like a puppet of the Trump machine. The race will be interesting. Val Demings is from Florida, and Florida is made up of high percentage of conservatives and progressives. For Demings to win, she must have massive Democratic support and resources. You can't take nothing for granted, and every vote matters. If voting didn't matter, why are Republicans constantly passing laws that suppress voting rights. It is very clear that Val Demings is a much better candidate than Marco Rubio. Rubio has sold his soul for Trump, and it shows. Therefore, our eyes are open in Florida. Florida represents a real opportunity where the Senate can be more progressive indeed.
Singers Omarion, Lalah Hathaway and Kierra Sheard’s Tulsa Tribute Anthem Proceeds to Aid Reparations Campaign for Massacre Survivors and Descendants. Their song is called We Will Never Forget. In truth, we will never forget at Tulsa, Oklahoma. The song was written and produced by Greg Curtis and executive produced by Michelle Le Fleur. It is important to know about this sad chapter in our history, so we are further inspired to fight for justice. The Tulsa Massacre started 100 years ago when innocent black men, women, and children were assaulted and murdered by a racist terrorist mob. Bombs from airplanes were dropped from planes in the homes. Churches were destroyed. Property were taken. Mass graves are still being discovered decades later. Many of the survivors in 2021 have told their terrifying stories in front of the whole world. We will never forget, as justice still must be made for our people. Today, we still have fascism in the world that must be eradicated completely. Yes, black Americans deserve reparations.
Texas Governor signed the 1836 project when the Texas Republic was formed to promote slavery. That is why Remember the Alamo was created. These folks rebelled against the Mexican law that banned slavery. In fact, many of the Texas settlers came into Texas in order to spread slavery. That is what the Texas independence movement was all about. Santa Ana was a dictator, but many of those Texans wanted the status quo of oppressing people in chains too. Also, Texas joined the Confederacy. During the Civil War, Texas was one of the last places of resistance from the Confederate enemy. Texas is the state that have some Republicans who desire to whitewash slavery and other parts of real American history. Abbot doesn't want critical race theory to be taught. Far right Republicans have archaic views.
Things are certainly revealed at the proper time. In 2020, the 1.8-acre Millie Woodson-Turner homestead, located between Courtland and Capron, became a Virginia state Landmark officially. Millie Woodson Turner is my 4th great grandmother, and her daughter Susanna Field Hurst Turner is my 3rd great grandmother. So, my ancestors given proper acknowledgment certainly inspires my soul. Even when I was a child, I knew of the Iroquoian Nottoway people. Nottoway Native Americans are also known as the Cheroenhaka. Back then, we heard stories. You have to put 2 to 2 together to understand the real history. Years later, I learned the truth. Millie Woodson-Turner (who married a free African American named Morefield Hurst) received an allotment of land in 1850. Susanna lived until 1949. This history is not just about Virginian history. It is about American history. It is certainly a wild feeling to see my ancestors mentioned in collegiate archaeological studies.
