Matt Galloway, host of the Canada Broadcasting Corporation program The Current, recently interviewed Dr. Carol Anderson about the significance of the nomination of Kamala Harris for vice president on the Democratic ticket. Harris, who accepted the formal nomination this week, would be the first Black woman and person of Indian descent to serve as vice president in the United States. Anderson discusses how voters may respond to Harris’s record in the general election, as well as how her nomination might serve to galvanize voters in the face of suppression tactics. Anderson, who most recently authored  One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy (Bloomsbury, 2018), is Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies and Associated Faculty in the History Department.
