Tennessee Republicans will consider redrawing US House district covering majority-Black Memphis - AP News
Overview
Tennessee Republicans called a special session to redraw a majority‑Black Memphis district after a court decision narrowed voting‑rights protections, splitting the district and prompting incumbent departures. The move has sparked protests and legal challenges and has been singled out by civil-rights organizers as an example of how the ruling may be used to alter Black representation. In response, the NAACP launched a campaign urging Black student-athletes to boycott or pause commitments to Southern colleges in states where similar redistricting could occur.
