The Fight Against Voter Suppression (A Brief History)
Reporter Alexis Johnson takes you on a graphical visual journey through a brief history of voting rights in America, and the impact voter disenfranchisement has had on Black voters in particular. This FRONTLINE Short Doc goes inside the fight over the right to vote, explores how the roots of voter suppression trace back to post-Civil War America, and examines what’s happening now.
