The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. §§ 1973–1973aa-6) was a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States that outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African Americans. The Act prohibited states from using prerequisites or qualifications to prevent people who were eligible from voting. Specifically, Congress intended the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote, a principal means by which southern states had prevented African Americans from voting. For this assignment, write a 700-word paper in which you complete the following: Explain why the federal government passed the Voting Rights Act. Evaluate the impact of the Voting Rights Act on political participation and voter turnout. (You might wish to study voter turnout statistics.) Discuss how current challenges to the Act (for example, Shelby County v. Holder ) have affected the legislation. Discuss whether there have been any new (within the last 25 years) threats to voting rights .

Running Head: PRE AND POST VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 PRE AND POST VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 14 Title Samarea Price Savannah State University 28 February 2019 Literature Review Pre-Voting Rating Act According to Bestor (1964), the founding constitution of the United States did not regard black people as human beings at all, so there was no way to talk about the right to vote at that time. During the American Civil War, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, announcing that all slaves were free. Before the Civil War, the Supreme Court in the Scott decision that caused a serious constitutional crisis had explained that the Constitution made black people the private property of slave owners and was inalienable (Bestor, 1964). Therefore, President Lincoln’s order to liberate slaves seems to violate the spirit of the Constitution. Interestingly, the Supreme Court Justices, who were with Lincoln in the capital, Washington, closed their eyes, and even Chief Justice Roger Tenny, who wrote the Scott’s verdict, did not boo and did not dare to defend constitution (Issacharoff, 1992). According to Lawson (2003), President Lincoln’s announcement of this order was only symbolic at the time, and it was a propaganda campaign to disintegrate the enemy’s rear. After the end of the Civil War, Congress enacted Article 13 of the Constitutional Amendment in 1865, abolishing slavery, which really liberated slaves in law. In 1868, Article 14 of the Constitutional Amendment was enacted to give the identity of a black American citizen (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991). However, Article 14 of the amendment does not address racial discrimination in the right to vote. To this end, Congress passed the 15th amendment in 1870, which clearly states: “The Government of the United States or any state government may not refuse because of race, color, or previous service. Giving or depriving the citizens of the United States of the right to vote." (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991)……………. So, in theory, black Americans won the right to vote in 1870. but it is not the truth. Under the US federal system, many functions of the government are the responsibility of the state government (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991). Before the introduction of the US Voting Rights Act in 1965, the specific provisions of the voting were formulated by the state governments, and the federal government could not intervene. Although the Constitution stipulates that the right to vote cannot be deprived of race and color, the states, especially the law-making institutions of the southern states, have changed the law to deprive blacks of the right to vote. These laws that deprive black people of their right to vote are mainly based on prerequisite to voting. If you have to meet certain property requirements, pay taxes, pass cultural examinations, etc., you can register voters (In Robinson & In Sulliv.

The video below provides a first-person narrative of a young couple's passion for the arts as they transform their community from an 'arts' desert to an 'arts' showcase providing a venue for activist musicians to find audiences they might never otherwise connect with. Please watch the video called Building Community through the arts which demonstrates how important every single individual can be in building a deep sense of community. In your initial post, please address the following: Why might musicians use their music to raise awareness and consciousness about different social issues? In your response please use at least one example (from the video, from your own community or from a different resource) in order to illustrate your points. Artists and musicians often choose to utilize public spaces. Why might a song, focused on a social justice issue, be more effective in public spaces rather than in a private home turned music venue? Do you think there would be fewer or more restrictions on the types of messages when presented in the public forum? Defend your position. Benoit and Elaine are powerful examples of community building. In a separate paragraph describe a venue you would create if given the chance. What form of the arts would you focus on (dance, music, reading poetry, etc.) and what themes, social justice issues, or community issues would you present at the grand opening? Explain your choice. Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format. .

The Right to Vote (and not to wait) In the previous two presidential elections in the United States, very long wait times have been witnessed at precincts (voting stations) in states that ultimately decided the election (Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004). In Philadelphia as well, some voters complained about the long lines in some precincts, with most complaints coming from precinct A. In 2004, the average number of voters arriving at Precinct A was 35 per hour, and the arrivals of voters were random with inter-‐arrival times that had a coefficient of variation of 1 (CVa=1). Philadelphia had deployed 1 voting machine in Precinct A. Suppose that each voter spent on average of 100 seconds in the voting booth (this is the time needed to cast her/his vote using a voting machine), with a standard deviation of 120 seconds. RTV1. How long on average did a voter have to wait in line precinct at A in 2004 before entering in a booth to cast her/his vote? .
