Aside from the energy leading up to tonight's historic nomination acceptance, the diversity here at the #DNC is amazing...and intentional. In 1964, Fannie Lou Hamer's speech at the Democratic National Convention paved the way for Mississippi's first racially integrated delegation. To directly experience the fruits of her - and other civil rights leaders' - labor 60 years later has been an overwhelming experience. Working to share that context and energy visually this week over on the blog. Head there to give it a read: https://lnkd.in/dMwjPiBr #NAACPatDNC
