In 1965, a nonviolent voting rights march in Alabama culminated in a brutal televised brutal attack by state police. The public outrage that followed prompted Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act, a law meant to dismantle racially discriminatory barriers to voting. Since then, this landmark civil rights law has faced continued attacks. The Supreme Court has weakened its protections, most notably in the 2013 case Shelby County v. Holder. And just this summer, a lower court ruling in Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians v. Howe blocked voters in seven states from using the Voting Rights Act to challenge racially discriminatory voting practices. The Supreme Court has put that decision on hold for the moment while it considers whether to take up the case. But the very fact that we're celebrating a pause on the near destruction of the Voting Rights Act's last remaining protection illustrates how bad things have gotten in the courts. Thankfully, courts don't have the only say. The 15th Amendment gives Congress the power to safeguard the right to vote through legislation. This conversation explores the history of the Voting Rights Act, its impact on voters today, and what it will take to ensure fair representation for all.Speakers:Alexander Keyssar, Matthew W. Stirling Jr. Professor of History and Social Policy, Harvard Kennedy SchoolSean Morales-Doyle, Director, Brennan Center Voting Rights and Elections ProgramLenny Powell, Staff Attorney, Native American Rights FundNikema Williams, U.S. Representative (D-GA)Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Kanawha County Commissioner; Former West Virginia Secretary of StateIf you enjoy this program, please give us a boost by liking it, subscribing, and sharing it with your friends.
