Friday is going to be a movie at the U.S. Open.

Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton are set to meet in the semifinals, and no matter who wins, a Black American man is headed to the U.S. Open final.

The history makes it even bigger: the last Black American man to reach the U.S. Open final was Arthur Ashe in 1972, and this match will happen inside the stadium that bears his name.

Black tennis history is already guaranteed.

“The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life.”

Even though they keep trying to roll it back, this day matters!

On August 6, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, banning discriminatory voting practices that had been used to keep Black Americans from the ballot box.

The law came after generations of organizing, protest, and sacrifice, including the work of civil rights leaders, grassroots organizers, and everyday people who risked their lives for the right to vote.

Today, we remember the people who fought to make the ballot more accessible and the ongoing work to protect the right they fought for.
