Dr. Carol Anderson was recently interviewed on CounterSpin, the weekly radio show produced and hosted by Janine Jackson of FAIR. Read the summary of the episode below along with the full interview here: “Alex Main on Bolivia Coup, Carol Anderson on Voter Suppression.” Anderson is associated faculty in the History Department and Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies.

“The 2020 election had enough problems before the coronavirus and the White House disinformation campaign around voting by mail, and Trump’s latest brazen attempt at derailment and distraction—as we record, that would be his suggestion to postpone the election, but by the time you hear the show, who knows?  We talked about those pre-existing challenges and their historic roots back in February with Carol Anderson, professor of African-American Studies at Emory University, and author of, among other books, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy.  We’ll hear part of that conversation as well.”
