In 1971, the noted philosopher Marvin Gaye recorded a blockbuster song, What’s Going On, which captured the political mood of a large portion of Americans and the vast majority of African Americans. Today, we find a similar mood in this country as many people question the State of Democracy and whether the political process is being abused and misused.
As we move toward the 2020 elections, we take the time tonight to talk about an assessment of “what is going on” with respect to the actions of elected officials as they affect the rights and expectations of people. As we sit here today, there are ongoing discussions of efforts to impeach Donald Trump as President, there are widening use of racist antagonisms within the political process, and there are alarming and escalating attacks upon established political institutions and protections.
Joining us tonight to discuss this topic is the NCCU resident political science expert Dr. Jarvis Hall, a Professor in the NCCU Political Science Department. We want to thank you for taking time from your busy summer schedule to participate in this discussion.
