The VOICE contestant Keisha Renee & Model Darrel Swavey chat with BET’s own Prince Carter about the importance of Voting & Social Justice
MILLENIALLS ARE CHANGING THE GAME
From hearing the well renowned speeches of civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King 1963 “I Have A Dream”; Malcolm X 1964 “The Ballot or the Bullet” & in 1993 Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg being a voice and fighting for the rights against gender discrimination. Nevertheless this remarkable year of sociocultural evolution 2020 Millenniums of many organizations such as Black Lives Matters, Until Freedom, Human Rights Campaign just to name a few seeing the shed blood and hearing the cries from the earth long enough of our brothers and sisters who have been taken away too soon from the immoral laws of social injustice.
This has been an election year like no other but millennials are inspiring generations to keep going no matter what comes your way. Take George Floyd’s daughter Gianna for example sitting on the shoulders of former NBA player Stephen Jackson saying “Daddy changed the world.”
“I don’t give a damn if they burn down,” Activist Tamika Mallory added. “I don’t give a damn if they burn down Target, because Target should be on the streets with us, calling for the justice that our people deserve. Where was AutoZone at the time when Philando Castile was shot in a car, which is what they actually represent?”
Millennials are no longer leaving it to others to lay out plan of what humanity suppose to look like but they are realizing they only have a little window to take a stand now. They will not stop implementing their right to apply pressure moving the needle forward for governmental officials to be held responsible to pay the consequences of their bad behaviors.
By taking such action helps with changing amended laws. But first the Declaration, which should hold truth where we all are created equal in addition to willingly to submit, live, and worth under authority but with the same respect no matter ethnicity, gender, spirituality, or social economic status.
Through this millennium generation being well equipped with necessary knowledge in speech, life, and love setting an example of wise choices of peaceful protesting and not retreating, showing up in long lines across America casting their votes early, buses and vans picking citizens up to vote, college election engagement projects, radio stations uniting to promote voting and registrations impacting lives and minds with excellence in what is right, good, and admirable.
“There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life’s July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On Monday October 26th BET’s own Prince Carter along with 25 millennials are set out to discuss social injustice and the importance of voting for the 5 Part Series “Millennial Link Up”.
