The anti-Semite and racist Louis Farrakhan teamed up with supporters of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in Alabama to rally in support of Section 5.  Alabama Senators like Hank Sanders apparently never saw the perception problem of having a black nationalist racist anti-Semite like Farrakhan out front in support of the Defendants in the Shelby challenge to Section 5, which of course illustrates one of the problems with Section 5.

Someone involved in the Section 5 rallies, however, saw what Sanders could not:

Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Pastor Arthur Price Jr. this morning said Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is not speaking at the downtown Birmingham institution as part of a caravan supporting the Voting Rights Act on Friday. . . .Price said he “was surprised” to hear that Farrakhan would be at the church. “I didn’t know if that was outside the church,” he said. “We never intended on Mr. Farrakhan speaking here.”
