Attempts to measure the impact of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, regarded as the most effective civil rights legislation. This volume shows how blacks and Mexican Americans in the South, along with the Justice Department, have used the act and the US Constitution to overcome the resistance of white officials to minority mobilization.
