control of how elections are run is the latest chapter in a very long story of power

being used to silence the black community.

As fallout grows from the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act,

and Republican lawmakers race to redraw congressional maps to gain more seats in Congress,

Under President Biden, she served as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

We'll talk about the attacks on voting rights and the weaponization of the Department

of Justice under President Trump.

Saif Abu Ketja.

He's in Turkey now.

All that and more coming up.
