These Amazing Black People Are Making History in 2018

BRENDA LAWRENCE IS STANDING WITH SURVIVORS

Michigan Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D) is using her platform to keep history from repeating itself. Lawrence believes that the way to for that to happen is to remember women like Recy Taylor, whose emotional story of rape and injustice was the subject of Oprah Winfrey’s powerful Golden Globes speech. Not only did Lawrence, 63, attend the State of the Union wearing a red pin in Taylor’s honor, she’s also standing in solidarity with victims of sexual violence everywhere.
