Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Amelia Boynton Robinson, 101-Year-Old Voting Rights Activist, Attends The Democratic Convention

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On Thursday afternoon, an old lady in a wheelchair and her caregiver waited near the exit of the convention center here, delayed from their next stop by one of the week’s intermittent downpours.
The woman in the wheelchair was Amelia Boynton Robinson. Five decades ago, she offered up her home in Selma, Ala., to civil rights activists for use as a base of operations in their voting rights efforts. The Selma-to-Montgomery marches were planned there, and they would have seismic implications for the American political landscape.
“We were working to get the right to vote,” Robinson, who is 101 years old, said slowly. In 1965, as she and other protesters tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge during a voting rights demonstration, they were brutally clubbed with nightsticks and tear-gassed by state troopers.
“I was the one that was left for dead, if you saw the picture of the person who was lying down,” she said. That photo of Robinson, laying unconscious and bloodied in a man’s arms, appeared in publications across the country, and that march became widely known as “Bloody Sunday.”

just made a donation to the President…
I love seeing the huge smiles on Malia’s face. Sasha usually smiles like that, while Malia seems more subdued. Here, she’s just beaming!
I noticed her braces are gone.
thank you, Mr. President.
