On days like today, I reflect on the Springfield Race Riots. In 1908, a mob of white residents torched Black homes and businesses—murdering at least 6. Their intent was clear: Springfield may be the home of Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, but Black Americans were not welcome. https://t.co/Z25CRzgADz — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @NAACP! For 114 years, the NAACP has remained a guiding light and leading defender in civil rights, racial justice and equality for all—regardless of skin color, zip code or income. And did you know their roots began in Illinois? 👀 — PolitiTweet.org

In reaction to this horrific tragedy, activists hungry for justice came together and set out to form the NAACP to help the community rebuild and restore what was lost. And ever since, they've been instrumental in pushing our nation toward that more perfect Union for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org
