RE: Alabama’s state constitution:

The measure would have struck language – both in the main body of the Constitution, adopted in 1901, and in subsequent amendments – saying that “separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race.” It would also have deleted language on poll taxes, which in the Jim Crow South were often applied to keep blacks from voting.

A proposed change was defeated in the last election. Makes me fill a smidge better about GA. But, not really.(1115.org)
