Timeline: Voting Rights confirms 3 things we all know:
-
Most of our ancestors struggled for the right to vote.
-
As a nation, we’ve been painfully slow to honor this foundational promise of democracy.
-
That struggle continues today. Trump-led state legislatures systematically endeavor, under the color of so-called “election integrity” laws, to suppress & impede the voting rights of students, minorities and others.
As legal experts, historians and journalists daily confirm, we must rally together in order to preserve our democratic Republic .
Lincoln emphasized that in order to know where we’re going, we first need to know where we are.
And knowing where we are demands that we understand where we’ve been.
Let Timeline: Voting Rights show you.

Even if a literacy test administered by some objective deity would be desirable, one administered by a bureaucracy would be intolerable.”
