In this episode – nation versus state centered power. How has the system of federalism – or the sharing of power between national and state governments – impacted African Americans in the political pursuit of universal freedom? In Part 1, we focus on the notion of federalism. What are the implications in terms of political strategy? We look at the circumstances under which nation centered power and state centered power have either favored or disadvantaged black political struggles.
