She is dedicated to vote because at one time in this nation (maybe still is), it was downright DANGEROUS to vote if you were black.

1918 was the Spanish flu pandemic. It was also right in the middle of the Jim Crow era and the peak of the Klu Klux Klan.

She indeed has seen a lot in her lifetime and her resolve to vote at 102 years old during a dangerous pandemic should be an inspiration to all.

Said that nothing is going to stop her from going and standing in line to vote. She can't wait to see Trump go away.

Over her 96 years she has seen and experienced so much, she would really know the soul of the country is at risk.

Yes, I LOVE her. But I'm questioning myself if I would have felt the same if she'd been wearing a MAGA hat. God, i hope this election isn't warping my sense of kindness and I would have still loved her regardless.

After doing some serious soul searching I've realized I am a small human being and I would have hated her. I'm going to burn in Hell.

when she died a little over two years ago. I had forgotten how badly she wanted to live to vote him out.

We have our votes in to make that happen already
