EQUALITY’S CALL: THE STORY OF VOTING RIGHTS IN AMERICA

Equality’s Call tells the history of voting rights in the United States, from the founders’ ideas about government by consent to struggles continuing in the present. Written in rhyme, it follows efforts to make voting a right available to all. A timeline introduces key activists and situates their work within changes to voting law, including the history of voting amendments. The book links the country’s founding vision with later debates over who is allowed a voice in government.
