Join Host Hank Thompson as, on this Episode, three
dynamic women, from different parts of the country with different
backgrounds, speak on recently passed Texas laws restricting a
woman’s right to control her own body!
Dr. Samantha Elliott Briggs, PhD.
University of Alabama at Birmingham, social justice activist
Reverend Stephanie Wilkens, of Houston Texas and
activist Alicia Smith, of Minneapolis Minnesota,
were my guest for a riveting 45 minute discussion, that included
the attempts to suppress voting rights for people of
color.
Dr. Briggs, is the daughter of former St. Louis
Attorney, Forriss Elliott Sr. and the late Sylvia Elliott and I
have known her since her childhood. She along with Reverend
Stephanie Wilkens, fresh from a Poor people’s protest march, on the
Texas state capital in Austin and George Floyd activist, Alicia
Smith. All agreed that given what black folks, have already endured
in this country, we will overcome all of the racist motivated laws
and efforts designed to demoralize and control people of color, in
this country!
Hear their stories of their different experiences,
dealing with racism and a history of oppression and how as women of
color, they are undaunted and even more determined than ever, to
not only survive this new assault but to use it for the positive
outcome they all desire, they are indeed, Unbreakable!
