Today on MSNBC’s #PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton, we highlighted a powerful story about leadership, mentorship, and the next generation stepping up to serve. In Surry County, Virginia, 19 year old Cameran Drew made history winning a seat as county supervisor by just ten votes over his former high school civics teacher, Kenneth Bell. Both joined me to talk about the race, their mutual respect, and how this moment shows the importance of inspiring young people to lead in their own communities. |
