On Tuesday, like their fellow patriots, black Americans are headed to the polls to show just how powerful their votes are, despite the hinderances they still face.
Sure, there are reports that early voting among black voters in key states were lagging, but social media users shared their civic pride by stunting with their โI Votedโ stickers on Instagram and Twitter.
Celebrities like Halle Berry, Aja Naomi King and Tracee Ellis Ross showed off their stickers and stressed the need to vote on Election Day, too. โIf I can my ass up this early and vote. You can too. Letโs go family!!!โ Ice Cube tweeted. Entertainment and culture director of Ebony Britni Danielle shared that she โdid it for the ancestors.โ And NFL player Larry Fitzgerald reminded his followers that โEvery vote counts!!!โ
Check out these 30 famous and everyday black voters who are showing off their voter pride this Election Day.
