Dr. Kaye and guests examine the impact of modern voting restrictions, comparing them to historical literacy tests and poll taxes. They discuss the discriminatory application of facially neutral laws, such as Texas's single drop box per county in Harris County.
The conversation also addresses the historical context of black political power and the need for persistent activism, emphasizing the importance of local engagement and organizing.
The guests also take aim at the Democratic Party's Project 2029, calling it short on transformative vision and urging a longer view when it comes to addressing systemic inequality.
