On August 6, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law to dismantle discriminatory voting practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, that disproportionately affected Black voters. On this day, we honor the countless civil rights activists who bravely fought for equality and social justice. Their sacrifices and dedication paved the way for progress, and their spirit continues to inspire us to work towards a more inclusive and equitable society. As we remember this pivotal moment in civil rights history, let us reaffirm our commitment to upholding voting rights and preserving the hard-fought victories of the past. #OnThisDay #ImagineAnAmerica #VotingRightsAct1965 #VotingRightsAct #VotingRights #CivilRights #Voting #VotingPower #CivilRightsMovement
