Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The Ku Klux Klan began a campaign of terrorism against freed Blacks in Florida. Josiah, already a community leader, was unafraid. At the urging of his party, he ran for Congress. His opponent? A former slave owner and a Confederate army veteran. — PolitiTweet.org

#BlackHistoryMonth is American History. #BlackHistoryMonth2020 Josiah Thomas Walls was born enslaved. But the Civil War freed him, and he decided to fight. He enlisted with the Union Army, served out the war. Bought land. Got educated. Here's what happened next: https://t.co/8k9drwcv7A — PolitiTweet.org

The slave owner started a smear campaign. Josiah, the former slave, wasn't "educated enough" to serve in Congress, he argued. Josiah's response? He challenged him to a debate. The campaign raged on. Josiah was holding strong. They tried to kill him. On election day, he won. https://t.co/TF88DCy9YL — PolitiTweet.org
