Hey everone!
This week, I'm joined by Prof. Jordin Dickerson (@jordin_atierria) where we talk about the history of voter suppression in the United States. We'll talk about the efforts of the Founding Fathers to initially limit who could voted, how voter suppression tactics only became more and more refined during the Jim Crow era, how those tactics became primarily targeted at people of color, and how voter suppression is STILL an issue in the United States. With what we just saw happen in Georgia, this is still a very important issue, and I hope everyone enjoys the episode and learns as much as I did from it!
**Prof. Dickerson's mic was picking up some weird feedback, and I couldn't get it edited out completely. I tried like hell to get it out, but it doesn't take away from this amazing interview.**
YDKH's theme music is by the musician Smith the Mister called "Beach Buggy."
