    Voting Rights and POC Voting Suppression

    Today's episode is about when Black individuals gained the legal right to vote, the voting impression that took place, and the constitutional context that allowed these racist ideologies to take over. I also introduce ideas from MLK and Malcolm X had how they discussed the importance of equitable voting to our democracy. We will examine an ongoing legal case, Merrill v. Mulligan, which is regarding voting rights. It shows the racialized effects of redrawing voting districts and how it strips POC from their legal right to voting rights. Finally, we will look are House Bill 1020 in Mississippi legalizing voter suppression. If any of these topics sound interesting to you, come along with me to Break Down Barriers in your mind.

    Intersectional Oppression Infiltrates the Court Room

    This podcast is about what intersectionality, where it comes from, and how it disadvantages people. I also cover two different court cases representing how intersectional oppression even infiltrates courtrooms. I also discuss different domains of power under intersectionality.

    Declaration of independence created Prison labor

    Today I am going to demonstrate how the Declaration of Independence, along with other legal instruments, set up biases that enable oppression and eventually lead to prison labor.
