The new sixth district didn’t have to include Cleo Fields. They could have drawn a minority district without including Fields.
I take it that you are unaware that a person doesnt have to live in a district prior to declaring to run for that seat> Cleo could have always run in any newly created seat, and then move if he wins

If you're a candidate for the United States House of Representatives, you have to be at least 25 years old and have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years. But there's no requirement that you live in the congressional district you are vying to represent.

I know that, but it is a hurdle Field’s would have to overcome.
Generally speaking people prefer their representatives to reside in their districts and not somewhere else. In my opinion not living in the district would cost him votes.
If you look at the district map can you honestly tell me that they didn’t include all the mostly white precincts south of Highland Road along Manchac in the sixth district so they could capture Fields’ residence? It looks that way to me.
