Today is a triumph for freedom as huge as any victory that has ever been won on any battlefield.
President Lyndon Johnson signed the landmark Voting Rights Act in 1965. Over the last 12 years, the conservative Supreme Court has weakened the law, leaving only one major provision standing.
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act
Section 2 aims to ensure minority voters are not excluded from the process of drawing new congressional districts. In 1965, there were only six African American, four Hispanic, and two Asian or Pacific Islander members of the House of Representatives, none from the Deep South.
