In 1870, the United States passed the 15th Amendment and declared the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race. It took 156 years for the Supreme Court to fully enforce what the founders of the Civil War Amendments meant.
Constitutional litigator J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, walks Jenny Beth Martin through the historical arc — from the white leagues of Reconstruction Louisiana, to the Democrats who opposed the Voting Rights Act, to the modern left's weaponization of that same Act to justify race-based redistricting.
What you'll learn:
• Why the Supreme Court held Louisiana v. Callais for unprecedented second oral arguments
• How the Court directly invoked the 14th and 15th Amendments to end racial redistricting
• Why the founders of the Civil War Amendments wanted a color-blind country
• The historical reality of who actually murdered Black Republicans during Reconstruction
• Why character must matter more than skin color in every American institution
