Before he left office, former President Trump spent weeks making false claims of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election, alleging that’s what cost him victory.
On November 27, for example, Trump implied in a tweet that chicanery had taken place in Detroit (“…more votes than people!”), Philadelphia, Atlanta and Milwaukee. “Not surprisingly,” he wrote, “they are located in the most important swing states, and are long known for being politically corrupt!”
Notice how he placed emphasis on urban, majority Black areas. Raising unfounded fears about African-American voting takes a page from an old playbook, one that has been used repeatedly to justify voter suppression. The Oscar-contending documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy, directed and produced by Liz Garbus and Lisa Cortés and produced by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, explores the long history of attempts to keep Black people from having their ballots counted or even voting at all.

Here’s a startling statistic for you. In Mississippi, at the height of the Reconstruction era (which lasted until 1877), African-American voter registration stood at 67 percent. A century later, after America had defeated the Nazis and was being held up as a beacon of freedom, African-American voter registration in Mississippi stood at just three percent.
How could that have happened? Many factors, but a key one was domestic racial terrorism. In “All In: The Fight for Democracy,” a powerfully timely and absorbing documentary about voter suppression and the ongoing battle against it, the author and professor Carol Anderson tells the story of Maceo Snipes, who fought the fascists during World War II and felt like he’d earned some democracy for himself. He wasn’t intimidated by threats against the lives of African-Americans in his native Georgia; he had just come back from a war. So in 1946, he voted — and was...
