Suffrage: Where are the white ladies? Civil Rights and the Voting Rights Act of 1965
Manage episode 288374855 series 2855723
With the poll tax repealed, what would white women turn their attention to next in the fight for voting rights? Good question. Without a good answer. In this episode we discuss disenfranchisement of Asian populations and then get into the Civil Rights movement as it related to voting rights up to the 1960s. Whether it be the hand of history leaving out the details, or the general absence of white women in the fight for rights that weren’t directly related to them, there’s not a lot to find. In this episode we go through some of the background and tragedy that led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
