Before hitting the road to Selma, former NAACP GA leader Gerald Griggs sounds off
Atlanta-based attorney, advocate & activist - and former NAACP Georgia chapter President - Gerald Griggs joined The Ron Show Friday.
Gerald Griggs, Atlanta-based attorney, advocate and activist – and former NAACP Georgia chapter President, joined me Friday morning to weigh in on the landscape in a post-‘Callais’ U.S. and Georgia.
He and I discussed the near-immediate aftermath of fever-pitch GOP redistricting to dilute Black voter power in Congress and even at the state level. Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, this week announced he, too, is reconvening the state legislature to further gerrymander the state.
He and I also previewed what to expect in Selma on Saturday.
