A recent ruling by the US Supreme Court may lead to the elimination of two majority-Black congressional districts in Alabama, potentially solidifying Republican control at various levels of government, including Congress and county school boards. Alabama is historically significant as the birthplace of the voting rights movement in the United States. The 1965 voting rights demonstration in Selma, which resulted in the death of church deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson, was a pivotal moment in this movement, as marchers faced violent opposition from law enforcement while advocating for voting rights.
