The No Kings movement is fascinating, not only for its massive engagement—over 8 million people have participated in demonstrations—but also for its strong historical roots. Take a moment to think back to the 18th century, a time when communities of enslaved and free Black individuals in the American colonies celebrated what they called Negro Election Day. This was no mere celebration; it was an act of self-governance, a bold assertion of identity, and a challenge to the oppressive systems of monarchical rule.
