Katzenbach Defends Voting Act Aiding Negro Vote Rights
Atty. Gen. Katzenbach told the Supreme Court that the 1965 voting rights law is constitutional under the 15th Amendment and necessary to prevent discrimination. He cited literacy tests as engines of discrimination and argued Congress can curb voting injustices. Southern states countered with questions about interstate literacy and the act’s reach. The court prepared to rule later this term amid mixed reactions from states and justices.
