In 250 years, Louisiana has sent 171 white men to Congress.
During Reconstruction, Black people were elected and denied their seats. Only one Black man — Charles Nash — served in the 1800s.
Then from 1877 to 1990, Louisiana sent zero Black people to Congress. Zero. For 113 years.
In 1990, Black Louisiana finally got a member of Congress again. Since then, white voters have elected 25 members. Black voters have had 4.
All 4 were in the same room fighting to keep the two seats Black Louisiana fought for.
Don’t tell us this isn’t about denying Black people representation. It always has been.
@repcleofields_ and @reptroycarter were joined by former Congressman Cedric Richmond and William Jefferson to let the record be clear that Black voters are due fair maps.
