Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Advocacy in Action! Today, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, joined the Legal Defense Fund alongside the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School, the ACLU of Mississippi, and voting‑rights attorney Amir Badat as the trial began in Harris v. DeSoto County. This critical case challenges DeSoto County’s racially discriminatory 2022 redistricting map, which plaintiffs argue violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by diluting the voting power of Black residents. The lawsuit highlights that the county’s map split majority‑Black communities - including the city of Horn Lake - across all five districts, each of which remains majority‑white. As a result, not a single Black person has been elected in these districts in more than 20 years, despite Black residents now representing over one‑third of the county’s population. As proud plaintiffs in this case, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. stands united with our civil rights partners and the DeSoto County community in the fight to secure equitable representation and protect the voting rights of Black Mississippians.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, joins the world in honoring the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., whose passing marks the loss of a towering figure in the struggle for social justice. From his early days working alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to the decades he spent carrying the movement forward after King’s death, Rev. Jackson devoted his life to pushing America toward its better self. He worked tirelessly to expand voting rights, economic opportunity, and equality, becoming a powerful and persistent voice in the ongoing fight for Civil Rights. His presidential campaigns in the 1980s broke new ground, expanding who felt seen and included in national politics and reminding millions that they had both the right and the power to shape their own future. Through mantras like “Keep hope alive” and “I am somebody,” he affirmed the worth of those too often unheard and inspired generations to believe in their own dignity and possibility. Reverend Jackson was not only a national leader, but also a friend and partner of Delta Sigma Theta. We were proud to recognize his extraordinary work and impact during our Centennial Founders Day Celebration in 2013, a moment that reflected the shared commitment between his life’s work and Delta’s legacy of social action. Today, we honor his courage, his conviction, and the indelible imprint he leaves on our nation and on the communities we serve and represent. His life stands as a reminder that sustained advocacy, collective action, and unwavering faith can bend the arc of history toward justice. #DST1913
