    America at 250: Civil rights for Black Americans remain under attack

    An article marking the U.S.'s 250th anniversary highlights ongoing attacks on civil rights for Black Americans, citing Supreme Court decisions like Shelby County v. Holder and Louisiana v. Callais that weakened the Voting Rights Act, leading to voter suppression laws and gerrymandering. The 2026 'State of Black America' report questions the viability of the American dream amid these challenges, noting a widened Black-white voter turnout gap since 2013.
