In this powerful interview, filmmaker Angela Lynn Tucker joins Jamara Wakefield to discuss The Inquisitor, a documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan—the first Southern Black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

From her moral leadership during the Nixon impeachment to her quiet courage in living authentically while navigating the political spotlight, Jordan's story is one of brilliance, restraint, and unshakable integrity. Angela reflects on the responsibility of telling this history, the craft of political storytelling, and the quiet, radical truths that still resonate today.
