Power in Small Places
Statement from Valerie Hill Rawls, MAPT, Founder & CEO, on the Historic 2026 Midterm Elections in the Southeast
On November 3, Georgia voters elected Keisha Lance Bottoms governor, the first Black woman elected governor of any U.S. state. In her victory speech, she spoke of her great-great-grandmother, born about twenty years before emancipation, and of standing on "shoulders made of steel." Those words belong to every Black woman who prayed, organized, and voted without being promised anything in return.
