@awkwardagnostic: CONGRESSWOMAN BARBARA JORDAN of Houston Texas. A woman of MANY firsts, including the first African American to serve in the Texas Senate since Reconstruction. The first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress from the South (1972-1978), and the first to deliver the keynote address at a national party convention (DNC 1976.) Barbara Jordan sponsored or cosponsored more than 300 bills. TWELVE of which are now federal law. Jordan was also responsible for passing landmark legislation in the Texas Senate concerning minimum wage, workman’s compensation, healthcare and insurance, and rights for the disabled. Such a powerful speech in 1976 is just as powerful in 2024, some 48 years later. #BarbaraJordan #Texas #part1 #Congresswoman #Corpus #USPolitics #KamalaHarris #Senate #EvaLongoria #TexasDelegates #Feminist #DNC #KamalaHarris #HarrisWalz #TimWalz #JoeBiden #BlueTexas #LGBTQ #BlueWave #PresidentBiden #Feminism #Viral #ViralVideo #TexasRangers #FLIPTEXAS #NancyEarl #DFW #DemocraticNationalConvention #ViralVideo#MultipleSclerosis #MS #DNC2024 #VoteBlue #BlueWave #USPolitics #VOTE #Tejano #Austin #Brownsville #CorpusChristi #Dallas #ElPaso #FortWorth #Galveston #Houston #SanAntonio #Waco #512 #210 #361 #956 #281
