POLITICS NATION, December 20, 2011 -- Rev. Al Sharpton takes us back to the turning point in the history of voting rights in the US--Bloody Sunday on the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

Rep. John Lewis was there that day and explains why the fight for the right to vote must go on.

Thanks for this blog and the reminder to all Americans that voter rights can't be surpressed after all it took to get it going in America.

THANKS MY BROTHER...(AND, IF "I" MAY RICH)...

@JAKE EACH TIME YOU WONDER (and become so, so upset and angry about my friendship with this WHITEMAN WHO HAS NEVER DONE ME ANY HARM) WHY I WILL COME TO ' DEFEND' RICH AND EVEN CALL HIM MY BROTHER AND NOT YOU...GO READ BLOGS LIKE THIS THAT RICH POST AND YOU WILL HAVE THE ANSWER...

OR IN OTHER WORDS JAKE, RICH GETS FROM ME THE SAME RESPECT HE GIVES TO ME AND TO MY Race. inother words jake, Rich has earned my respect and you have not done so. (smile)

oh, and Jake reading His best selling book, ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND, could also help in why I am always defending him although "I" call it giving him the respect he deserves. (smile)

@RICH, I am willing to bet that the governor of Wisconsin has removed all of the tvs out of his home or just broke them to prevent Rev. Sharpton from coming intohis home...and, all of the radios too. LOL!!! (smile)

Next up, the governor of Fl...you go Rev. Al, you go. (smile)
