The Supreme Court has issued a surprising ruling in favor of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case, rejecting a Republican-led effort to weaken a landmark voting rights law. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined with the court’s liberals in affirming a lower-court ruling that found a likely violation of the Voting Rights Act in an Alabama congressional map. The map had one majority Black seat out of seven congressional districts in a state where more than one in four residents is Black. The case had been closely watched for its potential to weaken the landmark voting rights law.
Della Simpson Maynor was just 14 when she marched for voting rights in her hometown of Marion, Alabama, but she says she clearly remembers the police attacking the demonstrators. She recalls one officer, on horseback, swinging at her head with a club. She says, “They didn’t care who they hit." The Feb. 18, 1965, march ended with the shooting of a young activist and set in motion events that galvanized support for the Voting Rights Act later that year. Roughly 60 years after the act became law, Maynor sees echoes of the past.
