Colom’s Mississippi Win Shows a Seismic Shift in the Deep South
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Nia-Malika Henderson calls Scott Colom's win as Mississippi's first Black senator since Reconstruction a seismic shift in the Deep South. Local activists registered 40,000 new voters, Black turnout surged, and Colom told supporters at Tougaloo College, "It's something we did... I had the courage to believe in Mississippi."
