My Trouble Name (Guest: State Rep. Merika Coleman)

<p>Josh and David open with a discussion of the State Board of Education banning Critical Race Theory, and Alabama's long, awful history of distorting its racism.</p> <p>Rep. Merika Coleman zooms in to discuss redistricting and the fight against gerrymandering.</p> <p>And we close with a discussion of Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed's new anti-discrimination ordinance, more COVID and this week's Rightwing Nut(s) of the Week.</p> <p>Send us a question:</p> <p>We take a bit of time each week to answer questions from our audience about Alabama politics — or Alabama in general. If you have a question about a politician, a policy, or a trend — really anything — you can shoot us an email at <a href='mailto:apwproducer@gmail.com'>apwproducer@gmail.com</a>.</p> <p>You can also send us a voice recording to that email with your question, and we may can it on air.</p> <p>Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.</p> <p>About APW:</p> <p>APW is a weekly Alabama political podcast hosted by Josh Moon and David Person, two longtime Alabama political journalists.
