Some times you hear of the death of someone and you check out their bio only to get pissed off.
Almighty has claimed Brenda Travis at 86 yrs old..
To say she was a Civil Rights pioneer, activist/warrior is an understatement..
She went through the whole brutal dramas of harassment, jailed, ignored, underappreciated, misogyny, blatant racism, sexual harassment - the whole gambit..
Very depression!
MAY WARRIOR BRENDA TRAVIS REST IN A BEAUTIFUL & PEACEFUL HEAVEN. AMEN
Signed: imagine having to join such a targeted movement at 15 years old and being a young Black girl from Mississippi. Do y'all understand how dangerous that was then? And yet, i'm guessing that less than 25% of the Black community have even heard of Brenda Travis' name. Shameful!....grimreaper(hmm, I sounded like gm)
