Unpacking Voter Suppression: The Legacy of Giles v. Harris
This chapter explores the historical setbacks faced during Reconstruction, particularly the disenfranchisement of Black voters in Alabama, as exemplified by the case of Giles v. Harris. It critiques the Supreme Court's failure to adequately address systemic racism and the methods employed by white officials to regain political control. The discussion draws parallels between past injustices and present-day challenges in voter rights and representation.
