The Ongoing Struggle for Voting Rights in the United States.

As the US awaits a Supreme Court decision on whether to reinforce or further erode the Voting Rights Act, voices from the violent civil rights era reflect on their struggles and why they are certain it was worth it. They recount tragedy, racism, oppression, and ultimately hope in seeing a president sign into law a measure designed to ensure equal access to the ballot and fair representation in the halls of political power. The debate will be renewed in the weeks ahead when the Supreme Court issues its ruling in yet another case involving the Voting Rights Act, this time over Black political representation in Alabama.
