On Tuesday, September 18th, join your host from 4-5pm (EST) for
an interview with Taylor Keen, former Councilor At Large on the
tribal council of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, who lost his seat
in the June 2007 re-election due to his vocal support for the
enfranchisement of Freedmen descendants. Listen in and learn more about
the complicated political history of this issue and the social and legal
implications of the Cherokee vote to disenfranchise the descendants of
the Freedman that has recently caught the attention of the Congressional
Black Caucus, The NAACP, and the National Congress of Black Women. What
are the implications of the vote in terms of tribal sovereignty and federal
intervention?
