Redistricting: Drawing Democracy

from Friendship Talks…Are you Listening? Hosted by Friendship Missionary Baptist Church

In this episode of Friendship Talks, Rev. Dr. Paul McAllister and veteran journalist Cliff Harrington examined redistricting and gerrymandering. With more than 30 years at The Charlotte Observer and The Rock Hill Herald, Harrington discussed how redistricting differed from gerrymandering, how map drawing shaped political power, and offered practical context for listeners—especially community leaders and engaged voters—who wanted to respond to the issue.
