Tennessee ranks in the bottom 5 states for voter turnout, & a new report reveals that restrictive policies disproportionately impact voters of color. Gerrymandering and felony voting laws weaken Black voting power. We must push for a more inclusive system! brnw.ch/21wNELy

This is a photo of an actual cross burning here in Tennessee. Monday on @NC5 at 6 PM, I’ll have the disturbing results of my continuing investigation into the rise of hate in the Volunteer State!

Proud to announce that @HowToSueTheKlan has won two best documentary awards — Best Short Documentary from the Harlem International Film Fest and Best Documentary from the North Carolina Black Film Festival!

So glad I finally got to see the @HowToSueTheKlan documentary. A talented group of local folks put a ton of work into this radical, anti-racist, anti-fascist story that we desperately need to remember as a culture!
