The question is — what’s next? Will City Council appeal the decision or go along with it and draw new boundaries?
Friday’s 1 p.m. meeting is what’s called a shade meeting, meaning the council will meet in private, outside the public eye.
Dr. Marcella Washington echoes that sentiment. She was one of citizens who were part of that lawsuit. “We know we want Black representation, but we don’t want Black segregation,” Washington said. “We don’t want it packed in such a way that those will be the only districts that Blacks will have a voice and be able to have some say in Jacksonville politics.
We could find out Friday during the special meeting of the City Council if they plan to appeal the federal judge’s decision and keep the new maps in play.
