Gerrymandering at Its Worst: A North Carolina Case Study

  • This is a past program

This video is also posted on YouTube where you can access captions and a full transcript.

Gerrymandering has a long history in the United States, but within the last decade North Carolina has become the face of some of the most egregious practices in the country. Congressional and state legislative districts throughout the state have empowered one party while crippling the other. Representative Pricey Harrison of the North Carolina House of Representatives; Saumya Narechania, director of census and community engagement at National Democratic Redistricting Committee; LaTosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter; and moderator Shaniqua McClendon, political director for Crooked Media, discuss the complicated and controversial practice.

Hammer Forum is an ongoing series of timely, thought-provoking events addressing social and political issues. 

Hammer Forum is made possible in part by Bronya and Andrew Galef.

Media sponsorship is provided by KPCC Southern California Public Radio.
