"From listening to this podcast, you will realize that the fight for voting rights often breaks down along racial and partisan lines. Desmond Meade saw that as a problem and set out to change it by channeling our shared sense of humanity and the common good to push for change."

"Voting rights scholar Carol Anderson explores the history of voter access in the United States, and how efforts to restrict the vote today resemble tactics from the past."

Historian Keisha N. Blain discusses the life and work of Civil Rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer. In the discussion, many of the forces Hamer pushed against are still present in our politics today. In her book Until I Am Free, Blain situates Fannie Lou Hamer as a key political thinker alongside leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks and demonstrates how her ideas remain salient for a new generation of activists committed to dismantling systems of oppression in the United States and across the globe.

"African American spirituals, gospel, and folk music all played an important role in the Civil Rights Movement. Singers and musicians collaborated with ethnomusicologists and song collectors to disseminate songs to activists, both at large meetings and through publications. They sang these songs for multiple purposes: to motivate them through long marches, for psychological strength against harassment and brutality, and sometimes to simply pass the time when waiting for something to happen."
