Ben Crump(@AttorneyCrump):Democrat Scott Colom is leading in Forrest County, Mississippi — a county named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, the Confederate general and first leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Today, that same county is voting for a Black Democrat. Votes are still being counted, but I can’t help but smile. This is what progress looks like. The South is changing, and no name on a county line can stop it. ✊🏿
