WCDC Celebrates Black History Month
The Walton County Democratic Women’s Club participated in the celebration of Black History Month. President Karen McGee recited the poem “Knoxville Tennessee” by Nikki Giovanni as the crowd gathered at the historic Tivoli Gym in Defuniak. Keynote Speaker Drexel Harris appealed to the young people to get out and vote. He reminded them of the struggle to achieve this right. He also spoke about Elijah McCoy, who invented lubricated systems for steam engines that are still in place today. The phrase “the real McCoy” was born from him, and is still used today anytime people want the real deal.
