Description

A vivid and fast-paced history, Gary May's Bending toward Justice offers a dramatic account of the birth and precarious life of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

It is an extraordinary story of the intimidation and murder of courageous activists who struggled to ensure that all Americans would be able to exercise their right to vote.

May outlines the divisions within the Civil Rights Movement, describes the relationship between President Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr., and captures the congressional politics of the 1960s.

Bending toward Justice is especially timely, given that the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v.

Holder in 2013 invalidated a key section of the Voting Rights Act.

As May shows, the fight for voting rights is by no means over.
