It is with great pleasure that I announce the Institute for Common Power’s years long endeavor to educate people on voter suppression and voter empowerment. We have completed an anthology designed to educate and inspire! It is a coffee table book that is both beautiful and intellectually stimulating. It will appeal to people from middle school to adulthood. ALL profits from the book to support our work with educators who stand on the frontlines of safeguarding truth.
The volume is edited by Dr. Terry Anne Scott, Victoria Elias, Jordyn Schulte, and Dr. Devon Geary. It includes contributions by Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Dr. Keisha Blain, Dr. Yohuru Williams, Bob Zellner, and more.
This anthology explores the precariousness of voting rights for Black people in America, the group that has historically faced the most discernible and pernicious obstacles to voting in the country. Through essays, primary sources, literature, photography, and more, this work tells the story of how their struggles created change for MANY other groups in America. The beautiful volume also serves as a handbook for how we can create voting justice today.
