Ex-Virginia Gov. Wilder: Democrats 'Have not Earned' the Black Vote
Douglas Wilder weighs in on Virginia race
Friends,
The race in Virginia is a lot of things, but one thing is for certain, the whole nation is watching what happens next!
From the Washington Examiner:
Virginia’s only black governor accused fellow Democrats of taking the African American vote for granted, even as they neglect historically black colleges and tell parents to stay out of their children's classrooms.
Douglas Wilder, who served from 1990 to 1994, said Virginia Democrats, including current Gov. Ralph Northam and candidate Terry McAuliffe, have shortchanged the state’s five historically black colleges and universities.
"I’ve been talking with the presidents of all of those universities," Wilder, 90, told the Washington Examiner from his home in Richmond. "They’re not happy with what’s going on. And many of them are limited in terms of expressing themselves because they don’t want to be punished.”
The HBCU issue is personal for Wilder, a grandson of slaves who was born during the Great Depression and worked his way through Virginia Union University, where he earned a degree in chemistry in 1951. Now, Virginia Union and its four sister schools are in disrepair, with many lacking the resources to attract students and start new programs, he said.
What happens next is up to you now, Virginia! Go vote!
Your humble servant,
Ben Stein
