RIP Bob Moses

Gay USA honors various activists who have died. History is not just about snapshots, even if we often study it that way. It is for the long haul. This is seen by civil rights activist, Bob Moses (well named; RIP), who later on started the Algebra Project (news to me, but so is many things) to promote math education.

The White House honors his memory. The best way to honor his memory is to do things to advance what he fought for. On that front, this op-ed challenging Biden's "all in" sentiments on voting rights is correct. Yes, the economic program will help blacks too. But, I'm sort of tired about hearing how supportive the President is about things. There is a certain not quite all in sentiment that belies just what is at stake. People DIED for voting rights in the 1960s.

I could add this to a SCOTUS post, but I will toss it in that Justice Sotomayor's mother has died. She also is a civil rights icon in her own fashion.
