Donald Trump Is Failing Black People. . . Where Do We Go From Here?
EBONY
|October - November 2017
Author, activist and professor Marc Lamont Hill tells us in his own words where we are one year post-election.
MARC LAMONT HILL DIDN’T VOTE FOR EITHER Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the 2016 election. He also didn’t vote for the beloved President Barack Obama in 2008 or 2012. Hill, 38, has been a proud Green Party voter almost as long as he’s been voting. The goal in what he calls “the freedom struggle” was to keep Trump out of the White House. Sixty-two million Americans felt differently, giving the former The Apprentice host enough electoral college votes to take the W. In the year since Black folks collectively sighed on the night of Nov. 8, 2016, the current administration has all but set the country aflame. A Muslim travel ban was blocked by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson. His proposed attempt to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and subsequent health care bill was a disastrous failure. Nearly a dozen of his sta• have quit or been fired. And people as far away as Berlin have protested what they see as a bigoted divisive commander in chief. But has everything been a failure? Are Black people more vulnerable under his presidency? Hill pulls no punches on where we are on key issues, how we continue to resist and where we go from here.
