Louisiana map ignites debate over race and representation

Season 2026 Episode 98 | 8m 08s

With its House primary contests off the calendar for now, Louisiana is taking another step to redraw its political battle lines. The move comes after the Supreme Court once again pared back landmark civil rights protections. Once the lines are settled in Louisiana, the impacts will be visible in blue and red, and Black and white. Liz Landers reports for our series, Race Matters.
