John Singletary Ramon Roane's video: Get Out and Vote

Blacks have a history in both major political parties of the United States. After the Civil War almost all Blacks considered them-selves Republicans. It was the Republican Party that was started by abolitionists and of course the party of President Abraham Lincoln. Mean-while Southern Democrats strongly opposed any rights to Blacks at the time and for almost a century there-after. Blacks were not even allowed to officially attend the Democratic convention until 1924. Through the history of this country the black vote have been a concern for both parties. The black vote have been used to further the agendas of politicians, but ignore the blacks for the most part. Blacks have the voting clout to elect people that are in their best interest.
