America’s storied history is filled with examples when the “land of the free” has only applied to a select group of citizens. Even though all citizens have now been granted voting rights in the U.S. Constitution and its amendments, obstacles have continually been raised to suppress those rights and prevent certain groups of people from claiming them. The ability of the people, all the people, to elect their leaders is what keeps democracy running.
The modern fight for everyone’s fair voting rights began in the 1960s when threats to civil liberties persistently compromised the nation’s foundational principles of equality and representation.
While significant progress has been made, much more needs to be accomplished to secure truly equitable voting opportunities for all.
Guardians of the Vote explores how each of us—every citizen of the United States of America—can learn from our nation’s history and protect this great democracy.
In the pages of this book, we will compare and assess the historical struggles for voting rights as well as the current challenges we continue to face today.
