Eric Holder | Our Unfinished March: The Violent Past and Imperiled Future of the Vote—A History, a Crisis, a Plan
In conversation with Tracey Matisak, award winning broadcaster and journalist
The United States attorney general from 2009 to 2015, Eric Holder is the first African American to hold that position. In his 30-year career in government he also served in the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section and as an associate judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Currently the chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, he also works as senior counsel at the law firm of Covington & Burling. He was named to Time magazine’s list of most influential people, referred to by Legal Times as one of the greatest Washington, D.C. lawyers of the past 30 years, and honored by Columbia University, his alma mater, with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. In Our Unfinished March, Holder presents a history of the struggle for voting rights in the U.S. and offers an actionable plan to safeguard our most essential right in the midst of unprecedented attacks on U.S. democracy.
