Voting Rights Act of 1965

from The Great Purple State · host Conall & Emerson

Conall and Emerson dive into the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the history that led to its creation, as well as modern-day implications. Not using the best mic. Some background noise. And our friend Cvikota drops in. FACTUAL CORRECTION: Lynching is STILL not, as of writing this correction in 2020, a federal hate crime. The bills mentioned in the podcast to make it so have gotten stalled in Congress - in particular by Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Ain't that some shit?
