Thousands rallied at the historic Mississippi Plan site in Jackson, Mississippi, chanting "We will not go back to Jim Crow" to protest new state voting restrictions. Organizers and civil rights groups said the measures are part of a regional Republican push to restrict ballot access and dilute Black voting power. The demonstration invoked the 1875 Mississippi Plan, linking modern bills to historic voter suppression tactics and demanding federal and state legal protections for voting rights.
