Bill Of Rights
By Guest Editorial Writer James Heth
|
An amazing example of hypocrisy happened way back in 1776 when a group of distinguished gentlemen slave owners
gathered together and created the constitution and “The Bill Of Rights”; declaring among other things, that “All men are
created equal.”. Women were excluded from the voting process. This remarkable metamorphose had
gradually taken place over two hundred years and after great sacrifices were made by a number of extraordinary Americans such
as, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Susan B. Anthony, William Lloyd Harrison, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, and scads of
others. These remarkable people rallied against the prevailing establishments and moved the country forward to what it is
today and because of their efforts and sacrifices we now have a situation whereby a woman and a black person are both
considered viable candidates for the presidency of our country. James Heth
