The Supreme Court has weakened a landmark Civil Rights-era law that has increased minority representation in Congress and elsewhere. In a 6-3 ruling, the court's conservative majority on Wednesday struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana. Professor Irving Joyner has followed the Voting Rights Act since its implementation. He joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the ramifications of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
