The Alabama State Constitution currently contains numerous racist references, including outdated language involving a poll tax for Black residents — but that could soon be changing.
Brian Lyman of the Montgomery Advertiser has reported that following an ongoing review by a special commission, the state Legislature will vote next year to officially remove those racist references from the state Constitution in an attempt to make the document more inclusive and non-offensive.
How far that work will go, however, remains to be seen.
