What was true back then remains true today.

A screenshot of a tweet by Corey Richardson (@vexedinthecity) from July 10, 2021, showing a dark background with white text. The tweet reads: 'Learning how, after a Black girl won a spelling bee in 1908, they canceled spelling bees for 20 years reminds me how, after electing a Black president in 2008, conservatives are ready to completely chuck democracy if that's what it takes to keep it from happening again.' The tweet is timestamped 9:48 AM and posted via Twitter for iPhone. The user's profile picture shows a man with a mustache and intense expression.
