Voters in rural Alabama cast historic votes in November 2024. It was the first time residents in the newly redrawn Congressional District Two picked their member of the U.S. House. It took a fight before the U.S. Supreme Court to create the new map to better represent African Americans in Congress.

  • It’s not easy being a small business owner. That’s especially true for Black-owned businesses without generational wealth.
