Spelman Alumna Stacey Abrams Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on February 01, 2021 Our girl Stacey Abrams is finally getting all of the recognition she deserves. As announced this morning, Abrams has made the list of Nobel Peace Prize nominees for her leadership and work with her voting organization, Fair Fight, a national voting rights organization. After losing her gubernatorial election back in 2018 due to blatant voter suppression, Abrams channeled her energy into making sure that Georgia voters, voters of color, in particular, are registered to vote and come to realize the power that lies in the act of voting. Her leadership has led to over a million new registered voters in predominantly Black communities. Through Fair Fight, Abrams no doubt played a huge role in flipping Georgia, a historically red state, blue during the 2020 Presidential Election and again during the 2021 Senate Run-Off elections. Abrams' efforts led to Democrats gaining control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, on top of the Presidency. Stacey is more than deserving of this award and we hope that she gets it! If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
