- Summary:
- Politial Candidate Malcolm Kenyatta was born, raised, and still lives in North Philadelphia--one of the poorest neighborhoods in America's poorest big city--where the median income is less than 10,000 per year and gun violence has surged to historic levels. After spending many years as an activist, Malcolm becomes the first openly gay person of color to win a seat in the PA House of Representatives in 2018. In the years following his victory, he becomes known for his tenacity, energy, and the way he deflects veiled racist attacks from his Republican colleagues. As the 2022 election comes closer, Malcolm decides to run for US Senate, vowing to be a champion for working people.
