#Saytheirnames: Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss

Happy 4th of July! Today is America’s day to celebrate our independence and the brave people who make it possible. I’ve been thinking about our democracy and freedoms of late as I have watched the January 6th House committee hearings. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every minute of them. I guess semi-retirement affords me the luxury of flex time so I can watch the hearings at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. I’m glad because it feels important. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, it feels like the health of our democracy is at stake. These hearings have given me a measure of hope as brave Democrats and Republicans have stood up to protect our democratic processes.
