Rights not defended are rights soon lost | Bishop Talbert W. Swan II 05/05/2026

“This ruling is not simply a legal opinion, it is a calculated step backward that threatens to unravel decades of hard-fought progress secured through the blood, sacrifice and unyielding courage of those who dared to demand full citizenship in this nation. It represents a direct assault on the spirit and substance of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant civil rights achievements in American history.”
