Mississippians Rally Against Supreme Court Decision Affecting Voting Rights
Thousands of Mississippians, joined by allies from other southern states, rallied at the War Memorial Building auditorium to protest a recent Supreme Court decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act. This decision, stemming from the case Louisiana v Callais, has prompted several southern states to redraw congressional districts, potentially diluting Black political power. The rally, organized by a coalition of civil rights groups, took place at a historically significant site for Black disenfranchisement. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves initially planned a special session to address redistricting but later reversed his decision, although redistricting is expected before the 2027 elections.
