*Claps* Thanks for the heads up about the film. I'll link this in my LJ. I remember having to read a book about people traveling to the South in the Sixties to help register Black People to vote.

All the tricks and assaults and even Death. As a Black person, a black woman I want to honor those that gave so much so I could vote.

It's hard sometimes to remember what people before us sacrificed because we get caught up in the here and now.

It's just shocking to me what people had to go through to get basic rights over the years. And what people are continuing to go through now. Sometimes it seems so simple that we are able to vote, and it's really not. *hugs*
