Jamie Moses, First Black MLA To Speak In The Manitoba Legislature

Black History Month celebrates historic election of MLA Jamie Moses On Tuesday, October 1, 2019, I became the first Black person to ever speak in the Manitoba Legislature as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

Our actions and inaction's, have hurt a lot of people. The two most powerful people in the world, "LAWLESS" Trump - The first president in modern day history that has never held a political office.

Anne Thompson “I got your six," I'd like to say to all volunteer emergency service workers.
