Abstract
This discussion activity examines the US Electoral College and its role in animating the anti-Black racism found in the voting systems and practices in the United States of America. Specifically, students are assigned two readings that explore how enslavement and anti-Black racism inform the foundation of the Electoral College. These texts guide students’ subsequent engagement with two videos (e.g., one from NPR and a second from the Harvard Kennedy School) that facilitate an in-class discussion.
