The VOTE: The History & Present Work for Black Voting Rights

The Audio Has Been Upgraded the Best Possible Sound.

During this LIVE radio recording, the guest spoke on a cell phone & some unrepairable feedback occurred.

It's 2020 and we still have voter suppression?

Grammy Winner (1970) in R & B Soul Joe Simon - now Bishop Simon - came on to talk about the present work to stop voter suppression and support the registration of Black, Diverse and Poor People of all Races in this country.  He presented his website: https://eurweb.com/2019/10/29/joe-simon-national-voter-registration-drive/

In 1870 the 15th Amendment gave Black & Racially diverse males the right to vote. However, in the same year, Jim Crows laws in states throughout the south and across the U.S. began their implementation. Jim Crow laws codified the "separate but equal" standards in businesses, restaurants, schools and hiring practices. These laws further implemented tests, taxes violence and intimidation to prevent individuals of color from voting.

Bishop Simon discussed how money donated and volunteers coming to help will knock on doors, make calls, meet people, educate and give transportation to disenfranchised individuals needing assistance to both register to vote and GO VOTE on Election Day.  Bishop Simon encouraged listers to go to his website and sign up.
