I don't know whether there is any connection, though it appears likely.
The Alabama Department of Archives and History has postponed a special event about Legislative redistricting, just days after legislators warned ADAH it may take back $5-Million in funding because they held a similar lunchtime event that GOP members opposed: “Invisible No More: Alabama’s LGBTQ+ History”
So now the other topic is on hold:
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WE WILL ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR RESCHEDULING WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE.
HISTORY/NOW: CONVERSATIONS ON THE
PAST + PRESENT Allen v. Milligan and Redistricting in Alabama
MONDAY, JULY 17 AT 12:00 PM - POSTPONED
Panelists Evan Milligan, Michael Li, and Scotty E. Kirkland will present Allen v. Milligan and Redistricting in Alabama. The program will be held online only. It will be livestreamed on the ADAH’s Facebook page and Youtube channel.
In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Alabama's congressional districts violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and maintained an injunction that requires Alabama to create an additional majority-minority district. A special session of the Alabama Legislature will convene on July 17 to comply with the ruling and draw new congressional boundaries. In this part 1 of a two-part online program, expert panelists will discuss the background of Allen v. Milligan and what this historic ruling means for Alabamians.
No, it is not a gay topic, but it is related to the legislature, perhaps a topic too hot right now?
