Civil rights icon sees 'history repeating itself' with Supreme Court's 'seismic shock'

A civil rights icon said on Sunday that the Supreme Court's recent "seismic shock" echoes back to a time when the U.S. government used its power to prevent Black people from being able to vote.

Press Robinson, 88, who was the first member of his family to vote and the first Black member of the Baton Rouge school board, told the Washington Post recently that the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais is likely to undo decades of progress made to guarantee communities of color the right to vote.
