Every Vote Is a Prayer

A vote is a kind of prayer about the world we desire for ourselves and our children. --Senator Raphael Warnock This inspiring history of the voting rights movement in America chronicles those battles from Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul through Martin Luther King, Jr., Lyndon B. Johnson, John Lewis, James Clyburn, and Michelle and Barack Obama and urges us to remember, as Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves--and the only way they could do that is by not voting at all."
