💨 Abstract
Wednesday marks the 60th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act. This act was crucial in protecting voting rights, particularly for Black voters, and was seen as a monumental step in U.S. democracy. However, the law has faced erosion since a 2013 Supreme Court ruling and faces further challenges due to upcoming court cases. Voting rights experts express concern over these developments, especially their impact on marginalized communities.
