The tragic murders of Andrew Goodman, James Earle Chaney, and Matthew Henry Schwerner underscore the dangerous fight for voting rights and the sacrifices made by civil rights activists.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a significant achievement, but the Supreme Court's 2023 decision to weaken it has led to renewed voting access restrictions for Black citizens.
Historically, various obstacles like poll taxes and literacy tests were implemented to disenfranchise African Americans and suppress their voting rights, demonstrating an ongoing struggle for equity in the electoral process.
As we approach Election Day, it's crucial to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for voting rights and the importance of participating in elections, especially for young Black voters.
