I had such an exciting opportunity to talk to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s son, Martin Luther King III, his wife Arndrea Waters King, and their daughter Yolanda about America in the post-Voting Rights Act. We covered:
How his father would’ve responded to the SCOTUS gutting of the VRA
What the family thinks we should do next
How to focus on hope
Their organization (the Drum Major Institute) partnering with Mi Familia Vota to drive Black and Brown voter engagement
Yolanda’s thoughts on how young voters feel about coming into politics with fewer voting rights than their parents had
