Felons who have served their sentence and have followed protocol should have the right to vote in less than two years. Voting is vital aspect of our lives.

With social media, it is difficult to create the fever in people that is necessary to generate an impact on society.

the 20th century led by Dr. Derek Brooms on Wednesday January 18th. “Women are the heartbeat of the civil rights movement. Women are the caretakers and nurturers in this movement and within society,” said Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Louisville Dr. Derek Brooms.

In today’s society, I guess having enough…
