Political Poetry. President Trump began his political career by spreading the racist conspiracy theory questioning the birth of the nation’s first Black president, Barack Obama, and his presidency is ending with the first Black woman as Vice President, Kamala Harris.

This is a PSA: If you are serious about racial justice, please stop "picking the brains" of Black professionals, experts & consultants for free. This labor is called, strategic planning. Put them on payroll or contract them like you do everybody else. Thanks.
