I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the US institute the Voting Rights Act?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Journalists like to say that US cities with black majorities, such as Detroit and New Orleans, have not elected white mayors since after the civil rights movement, when the Voting Rights Act of 1965 protected the franchise for minorities, and blacks in the South regained the power to vote for the first time since the turn of the 20th century.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
