- Title
From Selma to Ferguson: The Voting Rights Act as a Blueprint for Police Reform.
- Authors
Mazzone, Jason; Rushin, Stephen
- Abstract
The article discusses the authors' claim that the U.S. Voting Rights Act of 1965 provides a blueprint for how to legally respond to civil rights problems in America such as police misconduct as of 2017, and it mentions U.S. civil rights laws, as well as a push for police reform in the nation. Unconstitutional behavior by police departments is examined, along with police shootings and government violence against Black Americans in Selma, Alabama in 1965 and Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
