From Red Wine & Blue: REPEATING HISTORY: HOW EXTREMISTS ATTACK BLACK POLITICAL POWER

From Reconstruction to the present day, Black political progress has 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 tactics are still being used today. By understanding this history, we can spot patterns in real time, call them out, and defend democratic outcomes when Black candidates win.
