Supreme Court To Decide On Legality Of Alabama Congressional Maps
Newsy
The Supreme Court is set to decide if Alabama violated the Voting Rights Act when it re-drew Congressional maps.
The mural painted on the side of a Montgomery, Alabama building represents more than brush strokes. It depicts a time in history when poll taxes and literacy tests kept Blacks from voting. Fifty-seven years later, there's a new tug of war around voting rights bringing Alabama to the center stage, once more.
It started after the new GOP map was drawn up.
"I feel like there are elements in the Democratic party that want to redefine the Republican party and want to turn us into this entity that is not for fighting for Civil Rights," Alabama GOP Chairman John Wahl said.
