- Description:
- Newspaper article regarding a proposed redrawn district plan in College Park, following complaints that the former boundaries disallowed for fair representation of College Park's black residents on the City Council. The plan was met with mixed reactions, with some praising it for creating a majority-black ward and others criticizing it for not going far enough to ensure minority representation. The plan created six wards, with one ward having a majority-black population. The other wards had minority populations ranging from 25% to 35%. The plan also ensured that each ward had a roughly equal population. 1 page.
