Then and Now: The Alabama Constitution

11.28.2022

Two Maynard attorneys, Jack Chambers and John Neiman discuss the 2022 Alabama Constitution that replaced the previous version from 1901.

But practically speaking, it is really important for us to vote that racist language out of our state constitution. That would make a profound statement about who we are, and who we want to be.”
