Redistricting

The Similar Praxis Of Jim Crow And Lord Voldemort

May 15, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The current Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has left no doubt about its approach to representative democracy in the United States. Last month, in its Louisiana v. Callais decision, the high court ruled that a second, majority Black congressional district drawn in Louisiana in 2024 was unconstitutional and relied too heavily on race as part of its composition. The state, where Black people account for approximately 33% of its population, will now contain only one majority Black congressional district. The overarching decision vastly weakens the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) and updates the legal test for determining if Section 2, which prohibits voting discrimination on the basis of race,  of the act has been violated.

Iran Has The Strait Of Hormuz; What Can Black People Use For Leverage?

May 14, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The militant reaction to the Tennessee legislature’s recent obliteration of the state’s only predominantly Black voting district struck an emotional chord with Africans throughout the U.S. Protesters crowded into the legislative chamber, chanting, waving placards, sounding air horns, and leaving no doubts about their anger. State Representative Justin Pearson then eloquently spoke for many when he said: Today’s vote to redraw the congressional districts in Tennessee set our state back over 150 years. It was a political lynching that violated the rights of every Tennessean.
