On this edition of “Closer Look,” Atlanta professors assess the stability and threats toward American democracy over the past year, including the ongoing impacts of the Jan. 6 insurrection nearly two years after the attack.
Illya Davis, a philosophy professor at Morehouse College, joined Dr. Maurice Hobson, an associate professor of Africana Studies and historian at Georgia State University, for a conversation centered on a key question: Was 2022 a good year for American democracy?
While reflecting on the outcome of this year’s primaries and midterms, Hobson stressed a focus on larger underlying issues over the short-term defeat of candidates who supported election conspiracies and the capitol attack.
