Episode Details
Back to EpisodesThey wrote racism into the law. On purpose. And right now, they're doing it again.
Description
In this episode of Rethinking Freedom, attorney Aya Fubara Eneli traces the legal history of race in America from colonial Virginia in 1662, through the 15th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to the Supreme Court’s 2026 voting-rights ruling, racial gerrymandering, and the fight over Black political power today.
From slave laws to voting maps, the issue has always been bigger than one election: who gets represented, who gets protected, and who gets to decide what the Constitution means?
