	Description:		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.
