Anne Arundel civil rights leaders condemn treatment of Black lawmakers in Maryland and Tennessee

Local civil rights leaders and supporters gathered Wednesday in Annapolis to denounce the recent expulsion of two Black representatives from the Tennessee legislature, a move they described as one of the “most anti-democratic acts in a democratic nation” in recent memory. Late last month, hundreds of protestors gathered in Nashville after a Christian school shooting left three 9-year-old students and three adults dead.
