For THE NEWS
ASBURY PARK, N.J. — Some of our ancestors came to America by plane, carrying passports and seeking opportunity. Others came in the bellies of slave ships, shackled in chains, stripped of their names, and forced to build a country that denied their humanity. Both journeys are part of the Black experience in America, but they are not the same history. Pretending otherwise does a disservice to those who lived it.
As Governor Mikie Sherrill considers her next lieutenant governor, we find ourselves confronting a deeply personal question: When we demand Black representation, whose history are we asking our government to recognize?
The New Jersey Globe recently reported that Assemblyman Chigozie Onyema, the son of Nigerian immigrants, is among five potential candidates. His consideration raises a larger concern: America too often assumes that sharing the same skin color means sharing the same history, struggles, and political interests. We know firsthand that this is not true.
