Episode 54 | America in Free Fall: Democracy, Disenfranchisement, and the Voting Rights Act ft. Dr. Greg Carr

Is American democracy in free fall? 🗳️
In this riveting episode of Rethinking Freedom, host Aya Fubara Eneli, Esq. engages in a powerful conversation with Dr. Greg Carr, Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Howard University and one of the nation’s leading voices on history, law, and Black political thought.

Together, they unpack the steady erosion of the Voting Rights Act, the rise of voter suppression tactics, and what these shifts reveal about the state of democracy in America today. From the dismantling of key protections in Shelby County v. Holder to the weaponization of redistricting and disinformation, Dr. Carr offers a masterclass in truth-telling and historical context.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

How voting rights are being undermined in plain sight

Why the attack on the Voting Rights Act is an attack on collective freedom

What history teaches us about resilience, strategy, and liberation

How each of us can defend democracy in our communities

Dr. Carr challenges us not only to understand this moment—but to act with courage, clarity, and conviction.
