Race Matters Episode 21: Race And The Constitution by NCM Hub published on 2022-09-09T15:26:18Z Race Matters EPS 21: "Race And The Constitution" As "Constitutional Week" approaches, as many reflect on the "Brave & the Free" trope that embodies the institutionalized principles of this document, host Eddie Carson reminds us that many folks still need to fight for their freedoms. This document was made by white privileged men of position to protect their own wealth and property. These men are referred to as the "Founding Fathers", but are really just the framers of a document that needs to evolve with time. In this day and age, many people still need to fight for any legitimacy and voice.The majority of our American political traditions aim to disenfranchise many of the American citizens who are queer, female or POC. "For every step forward when we think of progress, we take two steps backwards", Carson states.
