Hello,

Here is the explanation for why the title has been changed. 

As many of you noticed, I changed the title a week ago without an explanation from, “Grandfather” to #mentalhealthshortage in all-50 states because the word is tied to systemic, systematic, racism. It was meant to limit, oppress,  and suppress, BLACK people in America during the US Civil War Era, to keep BLACK people from voting based on these three grandfather clauses: “illiterate or did not own property, unless their descendants had voted before 1867,” In 1915, the grandfather clause was deemed unconstitutional because It violated the 15th amendment. 2020, BLACK PEOPLE are still being denied. Please go vote it is our civic duty,  protect each other, and be safe it is our right. PEACE and LOVE
