SUPREME COURT CASE LOUISIANA v. Callais has limited the protections against gerryman- dering, which is the manipulation of district borders in order to give a political advantage for a party or group. In 2026, the case weakened previous protections mandated in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 intended to prevent gerrymandering that discriminated based on race.

By 1900, 20,000 children were removed from their families and put into these schools, and by 1925, this number tripled.
