Walk through a historic story of election denialism as we tell the story of Surry County and the first removal of election deniers from public office in the country. Learn about the critical infrastructure of our election administration as we detail how the violent Jan. 6 insurrection trickles down to your local elections— and how North Carolina's robust pro-democracy community fought to keep elected officials accountable to the law and the people they are supposed to serve.

Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li (he/him/they/them), presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice, and produced by Earfluence.
