TODAY: Protect Democracy launches Democracy Endgame essay from Ian Haney López

From street protests, to courtrooms, to classrooms, the role that race plays in public life stands among the most important, challenging, and contested issues in the effort to revitalize and protect American democracy. How—and even whether—to talk about race is a fundamental question for political leaders. What role does race play in shaping the threats to democracy in the United States?
