By the time the nation’s first station house for Black policemen was opened in 1950, serving 41 Black officers, one of them wasn't able to see it: Officer Milledge had been shot and killed, Miami's first Black officer to lose his life in the line of duty. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/QccOpajm0o — PolitiTweet.org

John Milledge, Ralph White, Clyde Lee, Ed Kimble and Moody Hall were Miami's first Black Police Officers. They weren't given cars, and weren't allowed to arrest white people. They used a local dentist as their headquarters, and rode bicycles. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/n9EbO5As8c — PolitiTweet.org

Officer Brian Sicknick's death should be personal to every Member of Congress, because this body failed our Capitol Police officers. Officer Sicknick remembered his oath, and if we want to honor his life, then all of us should follow his example. https://t.co/x0OTqm5RfH — PolitiTweet.org

“Doc Sistrunk” served the Black community in Broward County when few others did, and was “known for looking the other way when someone could not afford his services.” He delivered 5,000 babies, literally helping give birth to generations of Black Floridians. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/xs6lL2G0lO — PolitiTweet.org

COVID relief should be bipartisan, but our GOP colleagues have refused to accept that people need help now. If the choice is between helping the American people and waiting for our colleagues to find their consciences, I will choose the former. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Today we will vote to sweep aside the bureaucratic blockades that are standing in the way of immediate COVID relief for the American people. Inaction means suffering for millions of Americans. We want our Republican colleagues to join us—but we won't wait. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I visited the remains of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick at the U.S. Capitol. He was killed on January 6th in defense of all of us who work at the Capitol. My prayers are with his family and loved ones. We will honor his sacrifice and defend our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

My prayers are with the families of the FBI Agents killed in Florida, and for the swift recovery of those who were injured. Their sacrifices in defense of our nation and our children will not be forgotten. Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. — PolitiTweet.org

It is time to put a wall between big money and politics, break the culture of lobbying in D.C., cut out corruption, and secure voting rights for all Americans. https://t.co/jRWxhaWR7q — PolitiTweet.org

I believe that justice always makes us stronger. We must honor those who do right, and seek accountability for those who do wrong—not for vengeance, but to allow healing and progress. — PolitiTweet.org

He once described his life's belief as this: “I will not let prejudice or any of its attendant humiliations and injustices bear me down to spiritual defeat. My inner life is mine, and I shall defend and maintain its integrity against all the powers of hell." #BlackHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org

He founded America's first Black-oriented daily newspaper. He practiced law. He wrote books, poems, and songs for Broadway. He was U.S. Consul in Venezuela and Nicaragua. He led the NAACP, and protested lynching in the South and abuses in Haiti. He celebrated Black art & culture. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1899, Johnson was asked to speak at a celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Reconstruction was failing, and lynching was rampant. Instead of a speech, he wrote a poem of hope, rejoicing, and faith. Today we know it as the Black National Anthem. https://t.co/vfowJ3MYRW — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! As a fellow Jacksonville native, I want to start this month with the accomplishments of James Weldon Johnson. A poet, diplomat, novelist, and musician, Johnson believed in the power of art and advocacy to advance the cause of racial justice in America: — PolitiTweet.org

Last year during the first impeachment trial we tried to make it as clear as possible that if we didn't hold the former president accountable, he would do it again. He is a habitual offender. My conversation with @AliVelshi #Velshi this morning: https://t.co/uJCBNpu6G3 — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply disturbed by growing right-wing movements in America that call for a violent overthrow of our democracy. The way to defeat these forces is with more democracy, not less: more voting rights, more support for working families, more liberty and justice for all. — PolitiTweet.org
