Published | Video Starts at 01:19

We see the Voting Rights act eviscerated. And then, like clockwork, as if they had been lying in wait for 61 years since the ink on President Johnson's pen drive. Like clockwork, They set out again to remove black elected officials from office, not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power. Do you all see it? We see all around us a culture numb to official and corporate cruelty. A cancer patient's insurance refuses to cover her care. (01:19–01:27)
