On April 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, significantly weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and making it far harder to challenge racially discriminatory voting maps. Dr. Anderson's book, published in 2018, chronicles the earlier rollback of voting rights that began with Shelby County v. Holder in 2013 — the decision that gutted the VRA's preclearance requirements and opened the door to today's wave of voter suppression laws. Reading it now, in the immediate aftermath of Callais, offers essential historical grounding for understanding how we got here and what may lie ahead.

✨✨ Day 1 of The Institute for Common Power’s Historical Empowerment and Wellness Convening ✨✨

More than 50 Institute Educator Ambassadors from across the country and world are convening in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama to engage in "Historical Empowerment," Leadership Training, and Wellness. The convening will focus on how we use lessons from the past to navigate challenges today in our classrooms, society, and personal lives. Participating educators will also learn and share strategies on how to prioritize wellness while teaching and taking action.

Historical Empowerment involves how we use history as both primer and prologue to teach students and ourselves how to navigate challenges in their own / our own lives and communities.

Participants will have access to various sessions on history, pedagogy, power, and personal well-being; an entire day of instruction from the Equal Justice Initiative and their educator specialists, guided meditations, workshops, and more!

Follow along as this incredible journey unfolds! ✨✨
