Des milliers de personnes se sont rassemblées samedi à Montgomery, en Alabama, pour protester contre les récentes décisions de la Cour suprême concernant les circonscriptions électorales et pour retracer le parcours de la marche pour les droits civiques de 1965.

L'événement, baptisé All Roads Lead to the South, a attiré des participants venus en bus de Géorgie et de Caroline du Sud sur Dexter Avenue. Les manifestants visaient à relancer les efforts pour la représentation politique des Noirs après qu'une décision de 6 contre 3 de la Cour suprême a invalidé une circonscription à majorité noire en Louisiane. Les organisateurs de Fair Fight Action ont coordonné le rassemblement deux jours après le souvenir de l'anniversaire de la marche.
