Absolutely fascinating read on the Travel Guide published from the 1930s-1960s for "Driving While Black" in the US details the dangers of being refused gas, food, lodging, bathrooms, "sundown towns" & even not being allowed to pass white people on the road https://t.co/vhYdIHdTuk

Divalicious Candi: "Sometimes I wish ALL families were 'mixed'"
To further illustrate the inequality with which veterans' benefits were administered, I should probably also mention that my Dad served about 10 times as long as my Mom. Sometimes I wish ALL families were "mixed" so peoples' eyes could be opened to what's really going on https://t.co/5ire3Xr6VP

Divalicious Candi: "Don't limit your power by antagonizing potential allies!"
In short, don't limit the # of your allies by making assumptions about people you encounter based upon their skin color, birth year, or national origin- antagonizing people before you learn more about them merely limits your own power by limiting the # of your potential allies☮️ https://t.co/93V6Hp6eFU

Divalicious Candi references Frederick Douglass's 4th of July speech!
Reminded me of Frederick Douglass's 4th of July speech- honestly, he was speaking out 170 years ago & I'm just flabbergasted that we STILL have people who REFUSE to LISTEN to the voices of those who've been trying to EXPLAIN the PROBLEM ad nauseum for GENERATIONS https://t.co/tnfThVC9Xx

Divalicious Candi supports Representative Justin Jones!
eloquently spoken - beautiful when the faithful utilize the Bible to justify actions for PEACE, rather than used as a weapon to alienate people. SO disheartening to see representatives from marginalized communities make it to their state legislatures only to be forcefully ejected https://t.co/xGckSskTv2

Divalicious Candi supports New York Public Libraries!
They are proposing a $52.7 MILLION cut to the public libraries in New York- is this really a message we need to send at a time when public schools have been banning books all over the US?! https://t.co/fKoR9oZaOn
