1 FREE CLE 7.0 Louisiana Credit Hours Follow us on #LSULawSymposium The enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 marked a watershed in American history. That Act promised the fulfilment of the long-delayed aspirations of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by providing, for the first time, effective legal means by which individuals and federal authorities could challenge discrimination against minorities in the exercise of their right to vote and eliminate the traditional mechanisms and practices through which that discrimination was conducted. For half a century the Voting Rights Act has proven remarkably effective, transforming the landscape of American politics by extending the right to vote and the realistic possibility of election to office to all citizens. But despite or perhaps because of its success, the Voting Rights Act and the franchise it was intended to protect face a troubled future. The broad bipartisan support which the Act once enjoyed appears to be eroding. New mechanisms which, some argue, threaten to limit the ability to vote or the effectiveness of one's vote including but not limited to restrictive voter ID laws and gerrymandered districts have come to the fore. And in its recent decision in Shelby County v. Holder, the Supreme Court weakened a key provision of the Act which had enabled the federal Justice Department to review changes in voting laws in states and localities with a history of racial discrimination in voting. In this Symposium, the LSU Law Center and experts from across the nation will gather to mark the fiftieth Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of Please join us as we celebrate what the Voting Rights Act has achieved, discuss the challenges that it faces today, and consider what the future may hold for the Act and for its underlying goal of a broad and non-discriminatory exercise of all citizens' right to vote. lsulaw.net/symposium
