What is the order of these Alabama voting rights milestones in chronological order from earliest to most recent?

Question

Accepted Answer

how gains in Black representation required both federal legislation and sustained litigation. The 1965 Voting Rights Act passed after Bloody Sunday violence in Selma, Alabama, but didn't immediately create Black-majority districts. Only the 1982 amendments clarifying that discriminatory results violate Section 2 enabled the litigation that produced Earl Hilliard's 1992 election. Shelby County (2013) then gutted preclearance, and Allen v. Milligan (2023) showed Section 2 still provides some protection—but Louisiana v. Callais now threatens to eliminate even that remedy.
