Booker: Now We Have Six Members of the Supreme Court ‘Sending Us Back’ to that Century that ‘Make It Difficult’ for Black Voters to Vote

BOOKER: “And now we have a Supreme Court, six members who are sending us back to that long, almost century where black political leadership and black electoral fairness was not represented in the House of Representatives. And we’re going to see now with surgical like precision, state house after state house in southern states, them writing maps to try to eviscerate black leadership. So I was there because my roots go back to the south. I was there because I owe a debt that I could never pay back. But the only way we as Americans, have enjoyed the benefits of democracy, to prove worthy of the legacy we’ve inherited, is for us to continue the struggle to protect democracy and advance it so that our children and grandchildren have a nation that is still secure and still free, and still has fair elections.”
