The Old Politics of Racial Suppression Reawakened South Carolina's Republicans are stirring up controversy with their attempt to dismantle the congressional district held by James Clyburn, the state's only Black congressman since 1897.
This move is not just about partisan politics; it's a calculated effort to revive Jim Crow era tactics and suppress Black voter strength.
The proposal to redraw the sixth congressional district is a thinly veiled attempt to undo the 36 year old peace pact between civil rights leaders and South Carolina's white conservative political apparatus.
