She points to the Reconstruction era that followed President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, and Richard Nixon’s use of the Southern strategy to appeal to racial fears of white voters after President Lyndon Baines Johnson passed key civil rights measures. "Whenever there are great strides towards racial progress in this country, there is a white backlash." She concludes, "There’s a lot of soul searching that needs to be done. But I also think this election is very American."
