We cannot build a just nation without directly confronting the inequities facing Black communities. As we celebrate African Heritage Day, let us recommit to equity, to justice, and to building a Minnesota where Black communities don’t just survive, but truly thrive.

I will continue to say that we as Black people have to begin to be committed to taking regions of this country and BUILDING the future we want for our children. America is built with a core standing on “States Rights”. What happens when we become the majority of a voting population in a state and we can shape the policy. When we can elect leaders that prioritize equity. A New Black South doesn’t exclude anyone, it just ensures a place where we can see what building Black truly looks like. We built major American cities. When we showed up, the BOOM happened. I believe in the brilliance of Blackness that we can build the South into the beacon of this nation, economically, culturally, and done equitably. I’m not talking about small thinking. We have white leaders in America that have an entire 2025 Report with their plans to impact everyone in this nation. Why aren’t we being strategic to decide what the future of regions of this nation look like. Currently we have 4 Black US Senators, we could have 10 if we took critical mass in enough states in the south. That power of 10 US Senators is the power to vote as a 10 vote Block in the senate. To advance or hold up things that matter to our communities. To fund rebuilding areas that have historically been neglected. We have to start thinking bigger. And let me be clear. I know everyone won’t do it. Everyone isn’t at the point or has a desire to build. That’s okay. But don’t tell me it can’t be done because you aren’t willing to try. All I ask is that we as Black people dare to believe in ourselves and what we can create in America. That’s how we get liberty and justice for all.
