The Voting Rights Act was the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights movement. The law that finally made America a true democratic republic. John Lewis was beaten nearly to death to get it passed. Dr. King gave his life to the cause. Today, the Supreme Court gutted it.
Whatever your politics, understand that this bill was the legal infrastructure of equal participation in our democracy. I'm a Southerner. I grew up in Tennessee. I know what these states look like without voting protection. This is a devastating blow to American democracy.
