Social Justice

The Equal Rights Amendment, which guarantees equal legal rights regardless of gender, was first introduced in 1923, though it didn’t pass Congress until 1972. However, the controversy surrounding it stopped many states from ratifying the amendment. It remains unratified today, nearly a century after it was introduced.  This Little Light – Let it Shine – on Injustice, discrimination, inequities.

Last month AAMSAZ Executive Director Beverely Elliott spoke at the Kol Ami Reformed Synagogue about the museum and social justice. Well, Anti-Semitism …. blatant racism has been there but it seems now there is empowerment where there is hate and as African Americans we are well of aware of this.  As humans we are in the battle together with all people.  Let’s all shine some light on this!
