Illustrating the importance of reapportionment and the creation of single-member districts to ensure that blacks would be elected to the Senate in 1984, Gov. Richard Riley is seen giving his State of the State address, remarking, “Our first priority must be to reapportion the Senate…” A thought cloud from the back room states, “…Scratch priority one…” Marion Gressette, Rembert Dennis, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog are visible in the crowd.
