The venerable civil rights organization's Assistant Counsel describes the suit filed under the Voting Rights Act and the U. S. Constitution to Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana’s 32nd Judicial District Court. A Black candidate has never been elected as a judge on this parish court. A sitting judge on the court has been suspended for wearing blackface, an orange prison jumpsuit, handcuffs, and an afro wig to a Halloween party as part of his offensive parody of a Black prison inmate. http://www.naacpldf.org/files/case_issue/Terrebonne%20Parish%20Branch%20NAACP%2C%20et%20al.%20v.%20Jindal%2C%20et%20al..pdf
