The 1975 Voting Rights Act: A Brief History Part 2

Eureka!

The 1975 Voting Rights Act: A Brief History will consist of a four-part podcast on the 1975 Voting Rights Act Extension and Expansion, which extended protections to Latinos and others. For the past two years, the ’75 VRA has been the subject of a class Dr. Rivas-Rodriguez developed and taught called “Oral History as Journalism,” which is connected to the Voces Oral History Project part of the project’s Political and Civic Engagement collection, at the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection. Students in the class have interviewed men and women who played key roles in extending the VRA, as well as people whose lives were affected by voting rights in general.
