Hi there,

For nearly 30 years, Democracy Now! has gone to where the silence is. Our reporting provides news you can’t find anywhere else and helps maintain an informed public, which is critical for a functioning democracy. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. Please donate today, so we can keep amplifying voices that refuse to be silent. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Democracy Now!

As we look back today on the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we also highlight some of the present-day struggles that are happening around the South. We are joined by two guests: Rose Sanders, an attorney and co-founder of the National Voting Rights Museum in Selma, Alabama; and Rose Johnson, national program director for the Center for Democratic Renewal, an Atlanta-based research and advocacy organization fighting racial hatred.
