Disasters Prompt Voting Rights Inspection in Four Southern Counties
The Justice Department announced a new program to inspect voting rights in four southern counties where discriminatory practices allegedly hinder black citizens from registering. In Webster, Wilcox, McCormick, and Claiborne parishes and counties, officials report few or no registered Black voters despite sizable populations. The action follows President Eisenhower’s civil rights bill signing, with Attorney General plans to expand examinations in states with documented discriminatory registration.
