From Selma to Todd Blanche, U.S. Democracy Is Being Tested

A significant milestone in the Civil Rights Movement is being noted in the local area. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a major achievement, affirming the principle that democracy is for everyone. This landmark legislation was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It has been 61 years since this important event took place. Further information about the Voting Rights Act and its impact can be found in Ms. Magazine, which is available locally.
