Why the Black Vote Matters

The history of Black people voting in America is a story of resilience and determination. Through the Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights Movement showcased a period of systemic injustice and violence with regard to the Black vote. It wasn't until the 1965 Voting Rights Act that discriminatory laws against Black civic engagement were outlawed. After the the act was passed some states, particularly southern states, put policies and laws in place to continue to disenfranchise the Black people voting. As we draw closer to the elections we explore the history and importance of the Black Vote.
