While many are familiar with the role of the 15th Amendment and the 1965 Voting Rights Act in providing access to the ballot for African Americans, the importance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1915 decision in Guinn v. United States cannot be understated when examining the history of the Black vote. This little talked about appeal out of the state of Oklahoma may be even more relevant now.
Anthony Hendricks is presenting, “Voting Rights in Oklahoma: The Legacy of Guinn v. U.S.,” at the Oklahoma Bar Center on December 5, 2023, at 12:00 PM. Presented by the Oklahoma Bar Association, this CLE course is approved for 1 hour of ethics credits.
