Race and Policy Talks - The Voting Rights Act

Please join us for the seventh RAPT talk of the series. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, gutting critical protections for racial discrimination in voting.

Professor Ying Shi’s current research focuses on how the Supreme Court’s decision impacted ballot access for marginalized communities.  Join her for a lecture on the impact of this decision.
