The Voting Rights Act has been called one of the most successful pieces of civil rights legislation.  In this episode, we’re talking about the law that cemented the Fifteenth Amendment and gave Black Americans the right to vote.  We’ll also be talking about two Supreme Court cases that have eroded this important law, and what that means for all of us in the United States today, especially as we approach the 2024 presidential election.  Kasey spends a little more time describing the Shelby County case that we introduced in the first episode.  Toward the end of the episode, we’ll share some suggestions for listeners that are feeling fired up and looking for ways to take action.
