In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.

After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding.

By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.

And our Black people have the nerve to say don’t vote.

I will vote til I die.

it's a thing your comfortable sharing, I'm certain the kids here would receive it in a *non other place horrible* ways. I hate that you have such a story to tell. 🥺
