Title

Discussion of Proposed Boswell Amendment

Description

This article from The Alabamian is opinions of Alabama College students on the Boswell Amendment, which was an amendment that tried to prevent African Americans from voting. It eventually passed, and was used for a very short time in Alabama law. The amendment was proposed after the Supreme Court's ruling on Smith vs Allright, which banned holding white-only primaries and opened the door for African Americans to vote.
