In the birthplace of Civil Rights Movement, groups rally to defend Black political representation

Thousands of people are rallying in Montgomery, Alabama to defend Black political representation as conservative states dismantle congressional districts that helped secure Black political power. The rally is a response to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened voting rights law. The event is held in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, where veterans of the movement are alarmed by the speed of rollbacks on protections won through generations of sacrifice.
