Sessions, who Trump calls “brilliant”, is his choice for U.S. Attorney General. In a re- cently surfaced 10-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, King had called him “lacking in judgment and temperament who would irreparably harm the work the movement had done to seize a slice of democracy for disenfran- chised blacks.” King opposed Sessions for his attempt to prosecute three civil rights activists from Marion, Ala. for voter fraud -- accusations that were later proved unmerited. Her opposition to Sessions ran deep because she grew up right out- side of Marion which before the movement launched its successful voter rights drive were unable to counter terrorizing attacks on their lives and property. Civil rights activists fear that Sessions will not hold law enforcement officials accountable for the episodic inci- dents of unarmed black men being murdered, as was done under the Obama administration. In the battle to stop Sessions and others who seemed primed to push back advances in human rights, Coretta would not have panicked. In her memoir, she said, “Struggle is a never-ending pro- cess and freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in ev- ery generation.” And so it goes. Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Reynolds is the author of seven books. Her latest is the Life, the Love and the Legacy of Coretta Scott King. A Windfall for the Already Super-Wealthy national debt. The super-rich reap the enormous benefits of growing their wealth in U.S. society, but they’re freeloaders when it comes to paying the bills. Historically, being wealthy hasn’t disqualified a president from being a champion for those with less. There are many exam- ples of “born on third base” presi- dents: Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush. The test of leadership is whether they put the country ahead of their own narrow personal financial in- terests. For Trump, the estate tax is the first such text. Making America great doesn’t mean giving booster rockets to multi-generational dynasties of wealth. We need one tax system that’s fair to everyone. Chuck Collins is a senior schol- ar at the Institute for Policy Stud- ies and a co-editor of Inequality. org. He’s the author of the recent book Born on Third Base. Distrib- uted by OtherWords.org.
