4/11/2021

With the poll tax repealed, what would white women turn their attention to next in the fight for voting rights? Good question. Without a good answer. In this episode we discuss disenfranchisement of Asian communities and then get into the Civil Rights movement as it related to voting rights up to the 1960s. Whether it be  historians leaving out the details, or the general absence of white women in the fight for rights that weren’t directly related to them, there’s not a lot to find. In this episode we go through some of the background and tragedy that led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We discuss literacy tests, the march from Selma to Montgomery, Shout outs to the fantastic documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy.
