The May 2020 murder of George Floyd brought the U.S. into an era of racial reckoning. The tragedy, in which an unarmed Black man was killed in broad daylight by a white police officer, sparked global outrage and in the U.S., put racial inequity at the center of the national conversation.

From slavery to the Jim Crow era, the United States has a centuries-long history of government-sanctioned racism. While such laws have been long since repealed, their legacies loom large and have shaped much of the racial inequity evident in the United States to this day. Here is a look at the most important moments of the civil rights movement.

If you live in any of these states, watch your six and be safe!

    There is a bill that has parts that will be expiring in a few years. It deals with keeping states in check who has a history of mistreating black voters. I can't recall all the states involved but if this expires and no one does anything about it, we are going to really be cautious about said states doing some dirty work. I believe Bush extended it 25 years in 2006 so that means it will expire in 2031/2032.
