Drawing on personal narrative, historical context, and current policy, the presenter explores how laws, administrative practices, and political decisions shape who has access to the ballot—and who does not. Participants will engage in guided reflection and small-group discussion to identify modern forms of voter suppression, understand their disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, and consider strategies for protecting and expanding democratic participation. The session is designed to deepen civic understanding while equipping participants with language and tools to recognize and challenge structural barriers to voting.This class is presented in partnership with League of Women Voters Chattanooga and The Chattery. About the instructor:Dr. Wonjen C.
