MONTGOMERY, Ala. Thousands rallied Saturday in Selma and at the state Capitol to protest recent Supreme Court decisions and state redistricting that organizers say undermine Black electoral representation; the NAACP, Black Voters Matter and other civil rights groups organized demonstrations to press for legal and legislative responses and to mark the legacy of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Organizers said this week the events in Selma and Montgomery are an immediate effort to build a coordinated response, with planned rallies and legal challenges to follow; NAACP President Derrick Johnson and co-founder LaTosha Brown cited a recent Louisiana-related Supreme Court ruling and the 2013 Shelby County decision as catalysts, urging rapid mobilization and policy change.
