A documentary about how the right to vote has evolved in the United States, specifically in Tennessee and the South, will air next week on Nashville Public Television. The program, "The Fight to Vote: Black Voter Suppression in Tennessee," will focus mainly on the challenges poor and Black people faced getting access to the ballot box in the decades after the Civil War, but also aims to spur discussion about voting rights today and why voter turnout remains low in some parts of the country. In Nashville, the show will air on Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. CST. Check local listings for coverage in other cities.
