This is the part of the interview that the whole series revolves around.

The first three parts of the Verdie Triplett interview last week focused on the history of the 5 Civilized Tribes and their slaves/freedman. This next part of the interview talks about how the tribes recently conspired to remove black folks from the nations and the fight that is still going on.

Thanks -as always- to Farai Chideya, Devin Robins, and all the folks at NPR’s News and Notes for allowing me to participate on today’s bloggers roundtable. I was on with Shay Riley of Booker Rising, and Arlene Fenton of Black Women Vote. We discussed the “fairness doctrine”, Ralph Nader, and increased traffic at white supremacist websites.
