JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Missouri s state House on Wednesday formally condemned the U.S. Supreme Court s 1857 ruling denying U.S. citizenship to Dred Scott and other Black Americans.
The GOP-led House voted 152-0 in favor of the resolution, which describes the court decision as a “negative legacy” for the state.
Missouri s Supreme Court in 1852 ruled against Scott, a slave, in his bid to sue for his freedom. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1857 ruled 7-2 to uphold that decision, denying U.S. citizenship to Black Americans.
Missouri lawmakers gave a standing ovation upon passage of the resolution decrying that decision.
