Join us Monday, August 3 at 11:30 AM for a live conversation with Dr. Carol Anderson, historian at Emory University and author of One Person, No Vote, on how a new era of voter suppression is being built from old blueprints – and what that means for this moment.
We’ll dig into the long history of efforts to restrict who can vote, from Jim Crow–era poll taxes and “understanding” clauses to modern voter ID rules, proof-of-citizenship requirements, and quiet purges of the voter rolls.
We’ll connect the dots between past and present attacks on our elections and rights, showing how today’s fights over “election integrity,” bureaucratic hurdles, and gerrymandered maps are not new – but part of a long project to decide who counts and who doesn’t.
From Mississippi to Georgia and across the Jim Crow South, we’ll explore how laws that look neutral on paper end up closing polling places, erasing registrations, and weakening the power of Black, brown, and young voters – and how that voter suppression sits upstream of everything from wages to health outcomes.
If you want a clear, accessible way to understand what’s happening now – and to hear how books like One Person, No Vote can serve as a lens on today’s attacks on democracy – this conversation is for you.
We’ll move between the big picture and the specifics, highlighting both the machinery of modern voter suppression and the ordinary people who organize, drive neighbors to the polls, and refuse to let anyone quietly decide who counts.
