How the Supreme Court gutted Black voting power
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Supreme Court's recent decision on Black voting power in the US, particularly in the South.
The passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act marked what many historians mark as the actual beginning of democracy in the US. But last week the Supreme Court gutted what was left of the landmark civil rights law. NPR's Hansi Lo Wang joins us to talk through what it means for Black political power, especially in the South.
