backstory: Right to vote
Tomorrow marks the 55th anniversary of the signing into law by Lyndon Johnson of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
My curators and educators and I are thinking about programming for the fall that might inspire our brand new college-age voters to register and to vote in the presidential election coming up. More on this soon.
Related, for those of you who have young kids or grandkids, I thought I’d share a link to this video from PBS Kids since there’s a very special guest who appears on the program, relevant to the anniversary. He enters at about 19 minutes and 45 seconds. A brief, good lesson here.
