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.

On how diversity in nature relates to human diversity:
“We as humans will always be fallible. That’s always my opener. And with that in mind, looking at the history of just our country, it’s so easy to see the amazing things we’ve accomplished. And it’s also so easy to see the mistakes that we’ve made. And so that’s my hope is to open our minds to that fallibility that then allows us to own those behaviors and say, “OK, so we did this poorly. We did this bad. How can we do it better?”
“Because we’ll never be done evolving our civilization. Our beautiful American experiment that ostensibly on paper is designed to make an equal amount of happiness and justice for every citizen has a long way to go. So in order to achieve that, which I think is absolutely what our goal should be, we have to keep our eyes and ears and hearts open to that diversity of nature.’
