For Black Voters, a Flashback to the 1890s

 Charles M. Blow

Thank you, again, for scrupulous analysis of history of voter suppression. How tragic that the same resistance to Black rights is alive and growing. You remain a witness for us, spreading the truth and facts in the midst of the lies and fires of racism. MLK said he feared integration would simply integrate African Americans into “a burning house.” Harry Belafonte asked: “What do we do”. “Become firefighters,” said MLK. You, Mr. Blow are a heroic journalistic firefighter. We honor you. May many people keep up or join the exhausting struggle.
