   In case the historic nature of of this moment, is lost on you...
   A timeline of American Vice Presidents. Until the red square, she would have been a slave. Until the blue square she would have gone to segregated schools (if at all). Up to the yellow square she was not allowed to vote. It wasn't until the green square she could have her own bank account. Now she is Vice President, and on November 5th she will be elected President of the United States. #KamalaHarris #election2024 #USpol

     @juliehuz We may be allowed to have credit cards now but we have low limits and high interest. We also are not given enough credit to buy homes or invest in businesses. We are still to this day using mens credit and building their wealth. Once we win rights, they will do anything to limit it and benefit themselves.

     @juliehuz Gentle reminder that Brown v Board did not end school segregation. Harris was in only the second class at her high school to have busing for true integration, a plan that started in 1968, not 1954.

     @fu The photo are of VPs not President's. Nixon was Eisenhower's VP January 20, 1953 – January 20, 1961. Ford was also Nixon's second VP, Spiro Agnew (1969 – Oct 1973) and Ford did not become his VP until Dec 1973.
