Our daughter Yolanda, is Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King's only grandchild. I know that when he talked about his dream, he was also dreaming of her.
When she was five, the Voting Rights Act was gutted by a Supreme Court decision that said states with a history of racist voter suppression, didn't need oversight anymore, because racism was a thing of the past.
Today, Yolanda and her peers, children have fewer voting rights than the day they were born. What would MLK say about that? Change is not based in one person or in one family. We have to rally together to save democracy and build the future we want to see.
