You can’t expect your opponents to share with you their tactics for killing your bill.

But when you learn how they’re trying to do so, you need to respond.

Over the last two days, I’ve learned of objections to my legislation creating a Commission on Solemn Remembrance of the Victims of Lynching that took place in Maryland.

How would these brutal hangings be depicted?  Would this sensationalize these ghastly acts, instead of honoring the accomplishments of African-Americans?

I went to the webpage of the Maryland Historical Trust.

The thematic virtual tours of Maryland’s historical markers has photos of 11 markers of “the contributions of Maryland’s African Americans.”
