Description
National Public Radio presents a 2013 article, written by Eyder Peralta, Scott Neuman, and Mark Memmott, that provides an account of the Supreme Court decision to appeal a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The Act requires states with a history of voter discrimination to validate their voting process through the federal government. The author discusses how this decision influenced the influenced rights given by the 15th Amendment and the moves made by the federal government to ensure that voters rights are protected.
