Mr. Seawright,
Your comments bear a natural endorphin. You are blessed to have a natural remedy…I know sometimes it’s frustrating but please don’t ever give up. You have a purpose and you are reaching the underserved. Sometimes numbers and statistics are there to discourage but remember a public sergeant takes care of people not numbers. You are the future.
Thank you!
This is lazy, dishonest journalism — all the cliches relating to “voter suppression” and “white skin privilege” are present.
Hi Antjuan,
My name is Georgia, and if you are the Antjuan Seawright that was on Rev. Al Sharpton’s show, I would like to know if your granddad had a brother named Perry Searight. This is how he wrote his name. If so please look me up…my maiden name is also Seawright. But my married name is Youngblood Bey.
