AP reports 
<http://www.mystatesman.com/news/ap/top-news/city-emerges-as-new-battleground-on-voting-rights/njfMd/>on 
Pasadena Texas:

    Pasadena is preparing to change the makeup of its city council in a
    way that city fathers hope fosters new development, but that some
    Hispanics allege dilutes their influence. The case could become a
    test of the Supreme Court ruling last year that struck down most of
    the federal Voting Rights Act, giving cities in many Southern states
    new latitude to change election laws affecting minorities without
    first getting federal approval.

    reported <http://t.co/6FURJBBRPh>Saturday. He was 95.

    in the Senate since Reconstruction and the first to be elected by
    popular vote, serving in the chamber from 1967 to 1979. It would be
    more than a decade before the election of the next black senator:
    Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois.
