Ep 53 - Sekou Franklin - The Fight for Democracy in Tennessee and America
Today, Mark and Dr. Sekou Franklin discuss Tennessee's recent political spotlight after the General Assembly voted to expel three of its members, who were leading a protest against gun control laws after a mass shooting in Nashville.
This episode highlights the rarity of expulsion and the possible racism involved in the expulsion of two black representatives, while a white representative was not expelled. Dr. Franklin also points out that political activity by conservative legislatures in the states is a battleground for maintaining or rolling back civil rights, labor rights, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and all gains made toward democracy.
