Mississippians rejoice after Scott Colom victory: ‘God came back and gave us all the marvels’
The Guardian features the celebration at Tougaloo College where about a thousand people gathered after Democrat Scott Colom's narrowly won, week-long-count Senate victory over Cindy Hyde-Smith, Mississippi's first Black senator since 1875 and first Democratic one since 1982. Speakers including Bennie Thompson and Rev Maxine Bolden tied the win to civil rights history.
