Some paid the ultimate price to enact voting rights. Their survivors see America turning backward

Survivors of family members who died in the 1960s civil rights movement, including Viola Liuzzo and Denise McNair, express anguish over recent Supreme Court decisions that have weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The rulings, including a 2013 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, have led to the dismantling of protections for minority voting rights, with critics arguing the progress of the civil rights era is being reversed.
