About this Event
Join Dr. Bridgette Baldwin, Professor of Law and Associate Dean of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, for a Lunch and Learn event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a historic milestone in the fight for racial justice and electoral equality. This legislation transformed American democracy by dismantling barriers such as literacy tests and poll taxes that suppressed the voting rights of African Americans and marginalized communities. Bring your lunch to this session, where we will explore the rich history of voting rights in the United States, highlight the major achievements of the law over the past six decades, and discuss the ongoing challenges and opportunities to ensure equitable access to the ballot for all.
