It is my belief that the Voting Rights Act is needed now more than ever before.
Come, come, and walk in the shoes of people who try to register, try to vote, but did not live to see the passing of the Voting Rights Act.
In a democracy such as ours, the vote is precious; it is almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.
