As to the ruling related
to the Voting Rights Act
that a majority-minority
district was an
unconstitutional
racial gerrymander
what does that mean
to minority representation?
It means an awful lot.
The 13th, 14th, 15th amendments
the 14th amendment
of the Constitution
in particular, really guaranteed
African Americans equality.
We have seen throughout history
this is not new, people.
We have seen throughout history
sort of the "Lost Cause"
Democrats and Republicans
grieving over
African Americans having access
to the ballot
access to power and
their willingness to sort of
interfere with that power
and by any means necessary.
The rise of the Ku Klux Klan
came as a result of
African Americans
being enfranchised.
And so this is absolutely
this is a backlash
for the power that
African Americans have achieved.
This could have an impact
on a minimum of 19 sort of
voting rights districts
in the country.
