Fifty-nine years ago today, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer took the stage at the Democratic National Convention and fearlessly asked, “Is This America?”
Fannie’s testimony unveiled the horrors of systemic racism and the brutal violence that she and her fellow Black Americans faced when attempting to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
Fifty-nine years later, the fight for freedom continues.
Today, voter ID laws and other voting restrictions disproportionately impact people of color, making it harder for Black voters to cast a ballot and make their voices heard.
We’re working every single day to dismantle these barriers.
