"If you silence the loudest person that's screaming, Hey black people, go vote. Don't vote for her. Remove her from office. Then you'll eliminate the opposition."
In this episode of "Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions", Michael takes a deep dive into the contentious case of Pamela Moses, a Tennessean who faced a six-year prison sentence for submitting incorrect information while attempting to regain her voting rights. The episode explores the complex intersection of race, justice, and the criminal justice system, shedding light on Moses' past convictions and her belief that she was eligible to vote.
Despite her probation officer confirming her eligibility, a judge disagreed, leading to her conviction. Michael navigates the intricate details of the case, highlighting the disparities in how election crimes are prosecuted across racial lines. Moses' story is not just about a legal battle but also about the broader implications of voter suppression and racial inequities.
As an activist and founder of the Memphis chapter of Black Lives Matter, Moses argues that her harsh sentence was a scare tactic aimed at discouraging others from voting. Michael's discussion raises critical questions about justice and racial equity, encouraging listeners to reflect on the systemic issues at play. With light humour and engaging dialogue, this episode offers a compelling narrative that challenges you to consider the implications of Moses' case on civil rights and democracy.
