GEORGIA'S POLITICAL MAPS BECOME BATTLEGROUND FOR BLACK POWER

Kemp's special session will determine whether Georgia's Black communities keep representation.

Gov. Kemp's special legislative session in June will spark intense fights over voting rights and political power in Georgia. Republicans will push to redraw maps eliminating Black-majority districts, while Democratic and community groups fight to preserve representation. This session decides whether Georgia's Black voters maintain any political voice in Congress and the state legislature.
