Over 50 state Democrats left Austin to prevent a vote during this special session.
Attorney Abdul Dosunmu said the voting rights of Black Texans are at stake.
Dosunmu founded the Young Black Lawyers Organizing Coalition, a group that s hosting voting rights seminars at Black churches nationwide and reminds parishioners about the historic role the church has played in getting the African American community to the polls.
