Show Notes

Guest-host Jefferson Smith of the Democracy Nerd podcast sits in for Thom Hartmann. While further decompressing from the outrageous CNN town hall with listeners, Jeff explores the history of African American suffrage in Illinois. Public educator Michael Melick from the Project XV Voting Rights Museum reveals the history of prosperous barber David A. Strother (1843-1905), the first African American to vote in Illinois after the passage of the 15th Amendment.
