Entertainment Weekly reports that the season finale of the hit series “Supergirl” will be titled, “Nevertheless, She Persisted.”The “Supergirl” finale title makes reference to a comment by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, after Sen. Elizabeth Warren attempted to read a letter by Corretta Scott King into the record during the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. King’s letter, written in 1986, urged Congress to block Sessions’ nomination to a federal judgeship because of his history of disenfranchising black voters. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters,” the letter read. And it’s really no surprise that “Supergirl” would use the feminist sensation as an endnote to its second season. Melissa Benoist, who plays Supergirl herself, walked in the Women’s March back in January to bring awareness to women’s issues.
