- NAACP files for federal court injunction to stop new Tennessee congressional map
The NAACP Tennessee chapter filed a federal court injunction to block Tennessee's new congressional map, alleging racial discrimination against Black Memphis voters. The map splits Memphis across three districts, reducing its majority-minority status following a Supreme Court ruling. The NAACP's lawsuit is combined with the League of Women Voters' challenge against the map.
