The Atlantic Magazine Interviews AAST Head and Professor Jane Rhoes about 2020 African-American Voters
The Atlantic magazine interviewed Jane Rhodes, UIC professor and head of African American studies, in an article about 2020 Democratic presidential candidates engaging African-American voters through black media outlets and sponsored forums. Rhodes, who notes that the Chicago Defender played a role in the political rise of former President Obama, says the candidates’ black media efforts serve as a good first-step but shouldn’t replace genuine community engagement.http://bit.ly/2NVrSHF
