Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock was one of a number of prominent Democrats who made false statements concerning Georgia’s new voting law.
Warnock, along with failed 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams and President Biden, labeled the bill an updated version of the repressive Jim Crow laws that were implemented by Southern Democrats post-Civil War.
Anyone with even a passing familiarity of the Jim Crow era understood how outrageous the claims were. Those “laws” were put in place to keep black people segregated from whites, to suppress the black vote, and to stifle economic and educational opportunities for black citizens. Black Americans faced criminal charges, jail time, violence, and death as these laws were enforced – and sometimes by lynch mobs – for a period of roughly 100 years.
The Alabama Historical Commission on Tuesday officially unveiled a restored Greyhound bus as part of a 60th anniversary exhibit commemorating the 1961 Freedom Rides protesting the segregation of bus terminals. The commission unveiled the bus, which was in service at the time of the protests, during a ceremony at its Freedom Rides Museum in Montgomery, Ala., on Tuesday to mark the date the first group of Freedom Riders left on a bus from.

As President Biden weighs executive action to cancel as much as $50,000 in student loans for each borrower, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington are introducing new legislation Wednesday they say would help address the soaring cost of higher education.
If passed, the College for All Act would make community colleges and trade schools tuition-free for all students. It would also make public four-year colleges and universities as well as public nonprofit minority-serving institutions such as historically Black colleges and universities tuition-free for all students from families earning less than $125,000 a year.
