Episode Description
A court recently ruled that some of Michigan’s state House and Senate maps violated the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for Black Detroiters to achieve proper representation. The Michigan Independent Citizen’s Redistricting Commission -- the body that created the state's maps -- has voted to appeal this decision, but the claim suggests a lot of questions. What do fair political maps look like in Southeast Michigan? And, what should political representation look like? A local representative from Detroit, and those opposing and supporting the court’s decision join Stephen to discuss.
