The last time a Black justice was elected to the Mississippi Supreme Court was in 2004, nearly 20 years ago. This lack of representation is because Mississippi employs Supreme Court district boundaries that dilute the voting strength of Black Mississippians. We deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Mississippi’s population is almost 40 percent Black — a greater proportion than any other state. Yet in the 100 years that Mississippi has elected its Supreme Court, there have been a total of only four Black justices ever to sit on that body. https://t.co/DCcrDYBOVx — PolitiTweet.org

Representation matters. And fair representation benefits everyone. When Black Mississippians have fair opportunities to elect candidates of choice, our institutions become more representative. It is fundamental to our rights to have fairly drawn maps. — PolitiTweet.org
