A brand new episode— “Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired”—Voting Rights and Voter Suppression —is available now on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] , Spotify [[link removed]] and MsMagazine.com [[link removed]] .
At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, voting activist and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer described the violent injustices she and others had endured while living under the South’s Jim Crow laws and fighting for the right to vote: “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!” Now, more than 50 years later and ahead of the 2020 election, we are seeing record early voting across the country. Even so, serious efforts aimed at voter suppression persist—including curbing access to mail-in voting and shutting down polling locations.
This week, Dr. Goodwin and her guests ask: what are the biggest threats to voting rights today? How is voter suppression showing up in the 2020 election? And what can we do to ensure that our elections remain free and fair?
Dr. Goodwin is joined by Kristen Clarke , president and executive director of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Judge Glenda Hatchett , who served as senior attorney at Delta Airlines before becoming the chief presiding judge of Fulton County Georgia Juvenile Court in Atlanta, and most recently, returned to TV in her new series, The Verdict with Judge Hatchett ; and Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson , executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center—and the first Black woman to hold that title.
