Alabama's Voting Rights Act and the History of Alabama

Roland Martin: Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dissent in the Alabama Supreme Court case was powerful. He says it called out a state that had more voting discrimination lawsuits than any other, besides Mississippi. In 2010, an FBI investigation uncovered recordings of discussions between Alabama state senators who referred to blacks as "aborigines," he says. Martin: That reads as someone who should not be holding any power,. And the majority opinion does not discuss this directly.
