" Harris will be sworn in...more than 170 years after abolitionist Sojourner Truth traveled the country preaching against slavery and injustice and advocating for women’s rights, even when White women in the suffrage mvmt resisted being connected to the anti-slavery movement."
3/How about fact that Suffrage movement grew out of antislavery mvmt; that White women like #SusanBAnthony were fierce abolitionists with close ties to African American community? This is sloppy writing.
4/Facts matter even when hard to condense into a column. And VP-to-be Harris plus millions of little girls and boys of all races deserve truth.
