Some paid the ultimate price to enact voting rights. Their survivors see America turning backward
Survivors of family members who died in the civil rights struggle for voting rights express concern over Supreme Court decisions weakening the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The article highlights cases like Viola Liuzzo, killed in 1965 while supporting voting rights, and Denise McNair, a victim of the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Recent court rulings and state legislative actions have reduced protections for minority voting communities.
