Victim of Racial Discrmination in Voting Speaks Out

The plaintiff in a Section 2 Voting Rights Act case alleging intentional racial discrimination, as well as racially discriminatory results, makes a speech at a rotary club to talk about the lawsuit.  The complaint alleges the plaintiff was not allowed to register to vote because of his race, and that the law preventing him from registering to vote had a specific racially discriminatory intent to prevent his race from voting.  More here.

The plaintiff “was asked whether he has received any threats since filing the complaint. . . .
‘However, over the years, I’ve been invited to leave many, many, many times, and I’ve been called a lot of things too,’ he quipped.”
