One research paper focusing on race
relations in the U.S. is required for the course. Historically in the united
states, people of color often faced legal and defacto discrimination which kept
them from voting. It has been argued that mechanisms to prevent certain people
of color from full voting participation are still being employed in the
twenty-first century. The paper is to examine racial discrimination in voting in
the twenty-first century, focusing on evidence of systematic techniques or
strategies used to prevent identifiable racial groups from voting in U.S.
