Hi folks,

I’m the first Black congresswoman from Alabama, a native of Selma, and proud to represent communities with an inspiring history of fighting for equality. The story of our nation cannot be told without including the history of communities like Birmingham, Selma, Tuscaloosa, and other cities and towns where ordinary Americans demanded an end to injustice and discrimination.

In February, we honor Black history and the countless contributions Black Americans have made to our nation. For roughly 100 years following the end of slavery, the burden of Jim Crow weighed on our state by denying true equality or representation to people of color. As a daughter of Selma, I stand on the shoulders of giants who courageously fought to make our society more just, equal, and inclusive — here in Alabama and all across our nation.

Racism did not end with the fall of Jim Crow. Black people in Alabama and beyond face systemic obstacles, from underfunded schools to neighborhoods impacted by toxic pollution. Right-wing politicians and judges have continued to attack our right to fair political representation, and President Trump’s remarks on Black Americans are not worth repeating.

Honoring Black history this month and year-round is especially important at this moment — as MAGA politicians at the state and federal levels seek to diminish or ignore the many contributions Black folks have made to American history. Let’s honor the memory of Civil Rights leaders and Black changemakers by recommitting ourselves to the pursuit of equality and justice.

Thank you,

Terri Sewell
