This election year, Black voters in key swing states hold
significant power heading into November, as they were crucial for
Democrats' "Blue Wave" in 2018. In her new book "Say It Louder!
Black Voters, White Narratives, and Saving Our Democracy,"
political analyst Tiffany Cross looks at the significant role Black
Americans have played in shaping U.S. democracy. Cross, who
previously covered Capitol Hill for BET and CNN, also highlights
the policies and efforts to subvert and suppress the Black vote
throughout history -- efforts that continue today. We'll talk to
Cross about the state of the electorate ahead of the 2020 election
and the latest national politics news.
