Maxine Waters(D) Los Angeles~ was born in St. Louis with twelve brothers and sisters. She loved the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution which led her to explore a career in politics. Her role in politics have changed the lives not only of her constituents but Black (Americans) as a whole, she challenged the crack epidemic in sentencing and most famously the Iran Contra funding through the American drug trade.
"Poor people have not ever really organized to use their numbers and power to force the government to do very much for them. People who don't make alot of noise don't get very much. All of us deserve a system that works for us not against us, this syemt does not simply belong to the wealthy."
Let's celebrate Black Women in U.S. history and the contributions they have and continue to make for this country.
Peace, Love and Strength.
