Black Post-Grad NOW WHAT?

Hijacking Voting Rights using the Filibuster


Listen Later

We take a deeper look at voting rights and the battle in the senate over who gets to vote. This one will definitely need a follow up, will Dems get rolled on the issue? How much more can they yield to get "moderates" on board for this MUST pass bill?

ALSO we are going on summer break so get ready for some wild outtakes til the end of July.  STAY COOL & STAY SAFE.
