Virtual - RSVP |
Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, Rigged chronicles how our right to vote is being undercut by a decade of dirty tricks – including the partisan use of gerrymandering and voter purges, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court. The film captures real-time voter purges in North Carolina and voter intimidation in Texas.

Join University Libraries’ Modern Literature Collection curator Joel Minor as he provides highlights of these resources with River Styx cofounder and longtime University Libraries donor, Jan Garden Castro.
