Welcome back to another #CourageousConversations! Today, we'll be discussing the history of voter suppression and how it impacts the way our democracy functions today. Follow along on this thread for highlights from the conversation.
Dr. Greg Williams starts the conversation off with a brief overview of the history of voter suppression in the country - noting that it is a systemic issue, meaning it's embedded within our country's history and system #CourageousConversations
Because, at the very outset of the "American Experiment", a constitutionally-given right to vote was taken away - separating the right to vote from citizenship - voter suppression has run rampant in our country from the very beginning. #CourageousConversations
