Alabama's Voting Rights Battle: A Five-Year Fight

About this episode

Evan Milligan discusses the ongoing battle for voting rights in Alabama and recent court victories against congressional map challenges.

Evan Milligan and his team secure five consecutive victories in federal courts, including the Supreme Court, challenging Alabamas congressional maps for diluting Black voting power. Despite Alabamas resistance, leading to a special map drawer fixing District two, the Supreme Courts recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais weakens Section two of the Voting Rights Act. Milligan emphasizes the need for grassroots support and local voting protections to honor lost leaders and ensure lasting change.
