Black Moms of Suburbia has been diligently working together to provide Voter Education to the public. We have partnered with local leaders to conduct various roundtables to encourage everyone to take this election year seriously.
Did You Know?
African Americans couldn’t officially attend the democratic convention until 1924.
The 15th amendment gave black men the right to vote under law?
The Black Codes was enacted to strictly govern the behavior of black citizens, which were later reestablished as The Jim Crow Laws.
Most black women waited five decades after the 19th amendment for the right to vote.
Our history is as equally as important as our present and our future as it relates to the changes we want to see in our country that are heavily influenced by who we elect into office. That’s why Black Mom’s of Suburbia is standing firmly behind encouraging African American’s to vote in our local and national elections. Your voice is in your vote and it does matter. Hopefully you were able to tune into our past facebook live sessions related to voting,if not check the archives to see what you missed.
