These four Black men are the only Black people elected to serve in Congress from Louisiana since the 1870s.
Louisiana has elected more than 170 white men to Congress during that same period. Yet today, a corrupt Supreme Court, a puppet governor, and a weak-backed legislature have decided to strip elected power from Black people.
That means other people decide how our tax dollars are invested in our communities.
I spoke with @repcleofields_, @reptroycarter, former Rep. @cedric_richmond, and former Rep. William Jefferson about why they went to the Louisiana State Capitol to testify against the congressional maps being pushed through.
For years, I’ve been saying what happens in Louisiana will impact America. Here we are.
This week, the Louisiana House of Representatives plans to pass maps that dilute Black voting power.
Our response cannot be silence. Our response has to be showing up in numbers this November and beginning the work of taking power back.

Look up the ages of the Freedom Riders. Lots of young folks. So when people are discussing whether it’s fair to ask young people to boycott attending certain schools in the Deep South over gerrymandering, realize young people were a core component of the civil rights movement.

@marlon_humphrey Naw it’s not fake. Most of us see the hatred and bigotry in him and his administration. Hopefully money & success don’t make you blind to it.

The redistricting of the congressional map is a direct assault on the voting rights act. There’s a bigger fix needed that’s so much bigger than the “Black athlete”. The NAACP “Out of bounds” initiative does have a historical foundation though. I’m torn because young people have often led the most impactful movements, but we can’t lay this solely at the feet of those athletes.
We have to respect that college athletes now have a chance to impact generations of family members. There needs to be a focus on the total plan to affect change, & that begs the question… “What will others sacrifice to take a stand?”.
