Shannon welcomes Historian Lawrence Goldstone to discuss his vivid portrait of the systematic suppression of the African American vote. The book traces the injustices of the post-Reconstruction era and examines the legal cases that made the Supreme Court a partner of white supremacists in the rise of Jim Crow. Goldstone brilliantly draws direct links to today's creeping threats to suffrage in this important and timely book.

Our Lives with Shannon Fisher explores personal, political, and societal perspectives of the American experience. The show delves deeply into the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, and community leaders and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.
