FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Bristow, VA) – June 26, 2013 -- The High Court overturned a portion of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), altering one of the most significant pieces of legislation in American History.

Joe Madison, host of the Sirius XM show The Urban View spoke to Mona Austin in an interview  Wednesday afternoon while the news was fresh.

Madison said of the decision “It’s very disappointing and  it’s going to require immediate action on the part of Congress and immediate demand and organizing on the part of Civil Rights organizations. . .”

On the question of the current relevance of the VRA, a law that was implemented over 40 years ago, Madison said to thin k the law is outdated is a fallacy, recognizing discrimination still exists in modern times.

 “Jim Crow is not an issue. It’s James Crow, Esq.,” he said and proceeded to provide several current examples of voter disenfranchisement.

“It’s time for us to march,” the Civil Rights activist known as “The Black Eagle” added.
