Two days after Rev. Jesse Jackson transitioned to the other side, Joanne Bland was claimed..
She was 72 yrs old..
She was a great civil rights warrior in Alabama..
Like most of the Black women warriors of that time she received little spotlight - it was all about the men..
She created the National Voting Rights Museum in Selma, Alabama, for one thing...Anyway
MAY THE SAINTLY JOANNE BLAND REST IN A DEEP PEACE FOREVER. AMEN
Signed: as i've noted before, we Black folks aren't known for honoring & respecting our ancestor warriors, so no surprise hardly anyone heard of her passing or know of her wonderful history. Shameful...grimreaper
