5/21 The St. Bernard Parish Massacre and Opelousas Massacre, both in 1868:

"....leading up to/days before the presidential #election of 1868."

(Quick note: most of these quotes are from respective Wikipedia articles).

#VoterSuppression, #disenfranchisement from the #PoliticalProcess - these hashtags are repeating like a broken record, but it's important to drum it home because too few people are connecting these dots, or following this trail of breadcrumbs, as it were.

4/21 Camilla Massacre, 1868:

After the massacre itself, "Whites proceeded through the countryside over the next two weeks, beating and warning Negroes that they would be killed if they tried to #vote in the coming #election."

So, #VoterSuppression, #disenfranchisement from the #PoliticalProcess. 1868. That was a long time ago - seems the tactics of this ilk are timeless, and recognizable.
