Keitra Lowery: “As a Black mother, I thought it was very important to be here. I have a 16-year-old daughter who is graduating this year. I want her to understand we have to fight for what we believe in. Having to come downtown because our church sites are closed is ridiculous. But I want my daughter to know that our votes matter. Black votes matter.” (Photo: Dr. Sybil C. Mitchell/Special to The New Tri-State Defender)
