The battle against rising neo #fascism is here and many of us know it didn't start yesterday. Americans have been warned for 8 years that #Trump would remain a threat to #democracy.
The brutality and dehumanization Black people endured to build this institution for nothing is not lost on African Americans, and we are committed to fighting back. Freedom is not free. We will continue to battle #Trump and #MAGA #Republicans for our ancestors and the future. #BlackHistory
