- Description:
- Civil rights digest of issues featuring an article written by Vernon E. Jordan Jr. regarding the significant progress made by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in increasing Black voter registration in the South. However, the article emphasizes that there was still much work that remained to be done. Only 62% of voting-age Blacks were registered to vote in the South, compared to 78% of whites. The article primarily discusses the need for full enforcement of the Voting Rights Act through stringent means and the preference that Black people had for going before federal examiners rather than local registrars.
