Alabama Is Still Living In The 1960s; The Return of Jim Crow
The state of Alabama is still living in the 1960’s. After decades of oppression that finally led to the creation of the Voting Rights Act, Alabama is still trying to keep Jim Crow segregation alive.
The state recently enacted repressive voter ID laws, and while they claim that this is their attempt to crack down on voter fraud – a nonexistent problem – the reality is that they want to keep minorities from being able to cast a ballot.
