Inside the intense, person-by-person fight over the Black vote in Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE — There was no better place to be on Juneteenth in the middle of a campaign that could turn on the Black vote in a pivotal swing state.

MILWAUKEE — There was no better place to be on Juneteenth in the middle of a campaign that could turn on the Black vote in a pivotal swing state.

It was stiflingly hot, in the 90s, the heat intensified by dozens of open-air smokers and barbecues that radiated off the pavement. Still, tens of thousands of people of all ages, most of them Black, poured onto MLK Drive for a vibrant parade on Wednesday, then stayed at the adjoining rollicking festival for hours longer.  

Kimberlee Foster, a volunteer for President Joe Biden's Wisconsin re-election campaign and a longtime Milwaukee resident, stood in the blazing sun with clipboard in hand and announced her main target: people who hadn’t voted in the last one or two elections.
