Fair Fight leader discusses concerns ahead of presidential election; Savannah storyteller on efforts to preserve the legacy of Susie King Taylor
The 2024 presidential election is fast approaching and there are still ongoing concerns about fair elections and voter rights. Lauren Groh-Wargo, the CEO of the national voting rights organization Fair Fight Action, talks with Rose about these issues and her organization’s effort to prevent the fallout Georgia saw after the 2020 Election.
Plus, we air WABE education reporter Juma Sei’s feature that explores how Black Atlantans are feeling about the 2024 presidential race.
Lastly, Susie King Taylor is noted as the first African American woman to openly teach Black children in the State of Georgia in the Civil War era. Patt "Sistah Patt" Gilliard Gunn is a master storyteller and founder of the Savannah-based Susie King Taylor Center for Jubilee. She talks with Rose about the mission of the center, Taylor’s legacy and the work being done to preserve it, including the renaming of a historic city square in downtown Savannah.
