The Center for Historical Research at Utica College invites paper submissions for a symposium, VRA@50, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the tumultuous era that led to the passage of this landmark legislation. Rather than following typical conference format, each presenter will have one hour to deliver his or her work and exchange ideas with the audience. Our intention is for presenter and audience alike to gain a greater understanding of the Voting Rights Act and its era through an extended discussion.
