Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Ex, C, 95-2): Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, May 11, 1994
The Fifteenth Amendment protects the right to vote from abridgement or denial on the basis of race. It serves, in part, as the basis for the Voting Rights act of 1965. That Act, which has helped to bring millions of minority voters into the political process and made their participation meaningful, was amended in 1982 to prohibit practices that result in denial or abridgement of the right to vote.
