The Civil Rights Movement Is Going in Reverse in Alabama | New Republic
This is a piece in the New Republic about the increasing racial polarization of political parties in Alabama. It's an unfortunate outcome but one that is almost inevitable as a result of two interests that seem to be conflicting but wind up being complementary. First, there is the desire to maximize the political representation and office holding for blacks in Alabama. Second, there is the ascendancy of a conservative Republican Party in the state. Both end up wanting racially-identifiable, safe districts.
