Redrawn Under 1857 Law
The Tuskesee city limits
were redrawn under q 1857 law
admittedly designed to keep
Negroes from gaining control
of the city and surrounding
Macon County, q focal center
in the controversy over Negro
voting rights In the South.
Tuskegee formerly was square
in. shape, with a population Of
about 5.397 Negroes and 1910
whites. Now 1t is what Justice
Frankfurter described in the
courts unanimous opinion as
IAN uncouth 28-sided figure"
whose shape has been COM
pared to that Of a sea dragon.
Only four or i've Negro voters
remain within the city bound
aries. About 400 lived within
the old boundaries.
The Just ice Department
charged in arguing the case
before the Supreme Court that
the effect was to relegate Ne
groes to q ghetto.
The new boundaries put the
campus Of Tuskegee Institute,
founded by Booker T.. WASH
ington in 1881. outside the city
limits.
Macon County has the high
est percentage Of Negro college
graduates of any Alabama
county, including q number Of
members of the Tuskegee In
stitute faculty.
The charges Of the Negro
citizens, Justice Frankfurter
said, would, if proven, abun-
dainty establish that the legis-
lative act was mot an ordinary
geographic redistricting meas
ure even within familiar abuses
Of gerrymandering. +
"If these allegations upon a
trial remained uncontradicted
or unqualified, the conclusion
would be irresistible, tanta-
mount for all practical pur-
poses to a mathematical dem
onstration that the legislation
is solely concerned with segre-
eating white and colored voters
by fencing Negro citizens out
of town so as to deprive them
of their, pre-existing municipal
vote" he said.
The opinion added: @
when q legislature thus
singles out q readily isolated
segment of q racial minority
for special discriminatory treat
ment, it violates the Fifteenth
Amendment"
