Court strikes key Voting Rights Act provision on Puerto Rican voters
A three judge panel in Washington declared unconstitutional a section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act affecting Puerto Rican voters in New York. In a two to one ruling the majority said non English speakers could vote if they showed sixth grade education at a school with a non English predominant language. Dissenting Judge McGowan disagreed. The Morgan couple of Brooklyn filed the suit arguing the provision diluted their votes.

Supreme Court sends Richmond desegregation case back for review
The Supreme Court without ruling on the merits sent the Richmond plan back to the lower court for further inquiry over school desegregation. Civil rights attorneys say the case bears wide significance because Richmonds freedom of choice plan is used elsewhere. The NAACP argues the plan perpetuates segregation while Greenberg calls teacher segregation a key tactic maintaining separate Negro and white schools.
