Perhaps Toni Morrison said it best when she proclaimed in 1992, “In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reinforced that and is now trending on Twitter with the hashtag “#MitchPlease” after giving a comment on voting rights, in which he seemed to imply African Americans are not Americans. Following the failed attempt to move the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the Senate floor on Wednesday, McConnell was asked to comment on the concerns among Black voters. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan policy group, 34 laws restricting voting access were passed in 19 states in 2021. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would restore Justice Department review of these changes.
