Welcome back to the Beyond Prejudice series with the Morris Perspective podcast. We are still on our journey to breaking the silence of racial bias. Today's episode is on our fight for voting rights. I'm your host, Connie Morris. And we're going to dive right into this critical chapter of our ongoing struggle for justice in America with an emphasis on our fight for voting rights.
The right to vote is often described as a cornerstone of democracy. Yet for much of American history, this right was systematically denied to African Americans and other marginalized groups. The struggle to secure voters' rights is not just a story of the past. It is a continuing battle that has shaped and continues to shape the political landscape of our nation.
In this episode, we'll explore the history of voter suppression, the landmark achievements of the civil rights movement in securing voters' rights, and the ongoing efforts to protect and expand access to the ballot box in the face of new challenges. From the post-Civil War era to the passage of the Voter Rights Act of 1965 and beyond, join us as we uncover the resilience and determination of those who have fought and continue to fight for a more inclusive and equitable democracy.
Remember, understanding your past is essential to creating a more just and equitable future. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
