About the Event:
"From Reconstruction to the present day, Black political progress has repeatedly been met with organized backlash. The playbook hasn’t changed—question the candidate’s eligibility, challenge their residency, dispute the vote count, and cast doubt on their legitimacy.
Join us to hear from Dr. James Ford, an award-winning educator and the Executive Director of the Center for Racial Equity in Education (CREED), to learn how these same tactics are still being used today to try and weaken Black political power and reverse hard-won gains. By understanding this history, we can spot the patterns in real time, call them out for what they are, and stand ready to defend democratic outcomes when Black candidates win and lead."
