Carol Anderson: One Person, No Vote

Video Description

In her New York Times bestseller White Rage, historian Carol Anderson laid bare a history of policies that have been used to (and which were, in fact, often specifically designed to) impede black progress in America from the Civil War to today. In One Person, No Vote, Anderson guides us through a history of voter suppression tactics including poll closures, photo ID requirements, and gerrymandering. Anderson also reveals the identity of the resistance, in the form of everyday organizers, activists, and residents willing to engage in court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans, just in time for this Fall’s midterm elections.
