3 apr 1944 anni - Smith v. Allwright

Descrizione:

Smith v. Allwright was a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1944 that ruled it unconstitutional for states to permit political parties to hold racially discriminatory primary elections. This ruling effectively ended the practice of "white primaries," which had been used by the Democratic Party in the South to disenfranchise African American voters.
