Operating out of Churchville-Chili Senior High
School, we are a collection of students from Rochester (NY) Area school
districts. Although our team works 52 weeks a year on many different
projects, each January through April we take part in the FIRST® Robotics

New Jim Crow (Informed Consent)
...In many states parolees and ex-felons cannot vote.

“Disenfranchisement laws disproportionately affect African Americans: in 2010, 1 of every 13 African Americans of voting age — about 7.7 percent nationally — was disenfranchised, a rate more than four times greater than with non-African Americans. In some of the strictest states — including Florida, Kentucky and Virginia — more than 20 percent of the African American population was disenfranchised, the report found.
