Local civil rights leaders say the U.S. Supreme Court acted prematurely by overturning part of the Voting Rights Act. On the steps of the Chattanooga City Hall Thursday, NAACP President James Mapp and other leaders said it's up to Congress to protect minority voters now. Mapp called on Senator Bob Corker and Representative Chuck Fleischmann to vote to keep the law intact. And Councilman Yusuf Hakeem said the ruling opens the door to re-establish Jim Crow-type laws.
