As an unprecedented level of uncertainty is fomented about the November 3rd presidential election, we speak to Natonne Elaine Kemp on the legacy of violent voter suppression and election fraud from the period of Reconstruction in the United States. And nearly a century after hundreds of African Americans were murdered by a White mob including police and national guard in Tulsa, a mass grave has been uncovered that is believed to contain some of those slain.
