Scott Colom's historic victory marks 'new moment' for Black voters, Bryan Stevenson says
On PBS NewsHour, Geoff Bennett asks Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson about Scott Colom's historic statewide win in Mississippi, which Stevenson calls an extraordinary new moment for Black voters. Stevenson links it to Mississippi's history of violent voter suppression — from Vernon Dahmer to Medgar Evers — and predicts voters across the South will keep fighting for political participation.
