In this episode, host Colin D. Heaton delves into Richard Nixon's New Federalism policy, which aimed to provide state and local governments with significant federal tax dollars for public works, safety, and education. We explore Nixon's efforts to abolish voter discrimination tests and extend the 1965 Voting Rights Act in 1970, impacting voter rights for poor whites and uneducated blacks. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
