Description

The Voting Rights War tells the story of the courageous struggle to achieve voting equality through more than one hundred years of work by the NAACP at the Supreme Court.

Readers take the journey for voting rights from slavery to the Plessy v.

Ferguson case that legalized segregation in 1896 through today’s con?icts around voter suppression.

The NAACP brought important cases to the Supreme Court that challenged obstacles to voting: grandfather clauses, all-White primaries, literacy tests, gerrymandering, vote dilution, felony disenfranchisement, and photo identi?cation laws. This book highlights the challenges facing American voters, especially African Americans, the brave work of NAACP members, and the often contentious relationship between the NAACP and the Supreme Court.

This book shows the human price paid for the right to vote and the intellectual stamina needed for each legal battle.

The Voting Rights War follows con?icts on the ground and in the courtroom, from post-slavery voting rights and the formation of the NAACP to its ongoing work to gain a basic right guaranteed to every citizen. Whether through litigation, lobbying, or protest, the NAACP continues to play an unprecedented role in the battle for voting equality in America, ?ghting against prison gerrymandering, racial redistricting, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and more.

The Voting Rights War highlights the NAACP’s powerful contribution and legacy.
