Vote Like Our Lives Depend On It!
It wasn’t until 1965, after years of intimidation, murders, and advocacy that the path to the voting booth was cleared for Black people with the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Act is a bedrock law protecting every American’s right to register to vote and cast their ballot. It remains one of the hardest-fought safeguards for Black Americans and other minority groups.

As we heard the cries of this child, it is inconceivable to think of the terror he has experienced. The NAACP stands in opposition of this kind of interaction with children. Our position is to…
