Why Did Georgia Stop a Bus Of African Americans Trying to Vote? (w/Guest LaTosha Brown)

Georgia tried to stop a group of African Americans from early voting by pulling over their bus and forcing Seniors to exit. This wasn't in the early days of the civil rights movement but in 2018. LaTosha Brown with Black Votes Matter was on the bus when it happened and is building up her organizing effort to fight voter intimidation and make sure Georgia knows that Black Votes Matter.
